Some of these names *may* just surprise you.

Move Over Spotify Wrapped…The SSA’s Annual Top Baby Names List Just Came Out

If you’re still looking for baby name inspiration, you’ve certainly come to the right place. The Social Security Administration just released the ten top female and male baby names across the US, and some of the names may be a bit surprising.

We don’t know about you, but we’ve been seeing a lot of Islas, Ashers and [insert name here]-leighs as of late, so it definitely shocked us that none of these trending names made the cut. So, without further ado, here are your 2022 baby name rankings!
