Sorry to all the Justins and Katherines — Liam and Charlotte were the most popular boy and girl names for babies born in D.C. last year, per Social Security data.
Why it matters: This means the odds of you getting almost trampled by a rogue herd of toddler Charlottes at a brewery in five years are much higher.
State of play: Noah and Leo take the number two and three spots for boys, while Olivia and Naomi snag those slots for girls.
- Meanwhile, names like Aria, Emilia, and Rowan saw the largest increase in D.C. popularity in the decade between 2013 and 2023.
- Justin, Katherine, and Kevin saw the biggest local drop in popularity during the same period.
