The US Census Bureau last week released a massive batch of data, and it includes this little nugget: the most popular names for babies in New Jersey in 2022.
So, let’s get right to it.
For boys, the most popular names were: 1. Liam 2. Noah 3. Lucas 4. Joseph 5. Michael 6. Jacob 7. Ethan 8. James 9. Luca 10. Jack
For girls, the most popular names were: 1. Emma 2. Sophia 3. Mia 4. Olivia 5. Isabella 6. Charlotte 7. Amelia 8. Ava 9. Luna 10. Gianna
The most popular baby names in New Jersey were similar to those at the national level, though not exactly the same.
