A major change is at third place, with Levi falling to fifth behind Liam, third, and Noah, fourth.

Jack takes sixth place, Theodore at seventh, with William, a new entry to the list, sitting at eighth place, followed by Bennett and Hudson to round out the top 10. 

Daniel also made the top 20 for the first time since 2017.

Meanwhile, Sophia overtook Olivia for first place, knocking that name off the throne after nine years.

Charlotte, which was trending at the end of 2024, has risen to third, and Isla now claims fourth place, moving Ellie down to fifth.

The remainder of the top 10 shows Hazel at sixth, Violet seventh, Harper eighth, Emma ninth and Sadie tenth.

For the first time, Lainey cracked the top 20.
