Just how trendy is your newborn's name these days?

Every year, the Social Security Administration compiles and releases its list of 2024's most popular 1,000 baby names to see which names increased the most in popularity.

The girls' name, Ailany, which means 'chief' or 'heavens', moved the most, up from No. 855 in 2023 to No. 101 in 2024. The name Truce, which means ‘peace’, ranked at No. 12,109 last year to No. 991 in 2024 for boys.

The next female name that worked its way north on the register: Aylani, spelled a tad differently with the same meaning 'chief' or 'heavens,' up from No. 1001 to No. 855. The male name Colsen, meaning 'son of Col', moved its way up from No. 1835 to No. 631.

The list also reveals the male and female names that are the most popular: Olivia and Emma ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for girls, and Liam and Noah ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for boys.

Below are the top 10 baby names that increased in popularity from 2023 to 2024:
