Top Baby Names in Florida, 2020s — Most Popular Boys & Girls Names

What the Data Says About the 2020s in Florida

During the 2020s (2020–2024), the Social Security Administration recorded 255,474 births across the top 50 boy and top 50 girl names in Florida. The decade's leading boy name was Liam with 8,489 births, while Olivia was the top girl name with 5,722 births. The top 50 boys in this decade collectively accounted for 141,791 births versus 113,683 for the top 50 girls — a common SSA pattern in which the boy-name pool is more concentrated among fewer high-frequency choices. These totals represent only names appearing five or more times per year in Florida; rarer names fall below the SSA's privacy-disclosure threshold and are excluded.

The 2020s sits within a specific cultural window of U.S. naming history. Recent decades like the 2020s reflect a distinctive modern pattern — shorter names, vowel-heavy endings, and revived classic forms (Liam, Noah, Olivia, Emma) replacing the trendy -aiden/-ayden constructions of the prior era. Liam and Olivia leading Florida during this window reflects how regional preferences interact with broader national trends.

Decade totals are computed by summing SSA state-year records for Florida across all ten years of the 2020s. Because the SSA suppresses any name with fewer than five annual occurrences in a state, the true number of unique names given in Florida during this decade is larger than what this page lists. The dataset also treats every spelling as a separate name — for example, Kayla and Kaylah are tracked independently — so combined-spelling totals would shift the rankings somewhat.
