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

The most popular baby names in Maine from 2020 to 2024, ranked by total births during the decade.

What the Data Says About the 2020s in Maine

During the 2020s (2020–2024), the Social Security Administration recorded 15,430 births across the top 50 boy and top 50 girl names in Maine. The decade's leading boy name was Oliver with 403 births, while Charlotte was the top girl name with 341 births. The top 50 boys in this decade collectively accounted for 8,524 births versus 6,906 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 Maine; 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. Oliver and Charlotte leading Maine during this window reflects how regional preferences interact with broader national trends.

Decade totals are computed by summing SSA state-year records for Maine 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 Maine 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.
