The Social Security Administration has released its list of the most popular baby names of 2022, with Olivia topping the list for girls and Liam for boys. The rankings usually don’t change much from year to year, but there were still some interesting shifts between 2021 and 2022. Names are shaped by society and history, and the SSA has been releasing lists of the top U.S. baby names since 1997, with popular culture playing a role in influencing the popularity of certain names.
