Take Liam, which is the top name for boys. The most recent birth records from the Washington Department of Health illustrate this trend. Rankings of the top 10 baby names still come out each year, but the percentage of babies given one of those top names has been steadily shrinking over the past few decades. Popular names - well, they just aren’t that popular anymore. Last year, that name ranked 936th in popularity for male births in the U.S., according to Social Security Administration data.
