What’s the Most Popular Baby Name in Maine Right Now?

We’re all given one at birth, but some names are handed out more frequently than others. So, what are the most popular baby names in Maine?

Names are kind of hilarious when you really think about them—we’re all handed a random cluster of sounds at birth and told, ‘This is you now.’ And for the rest of our lives, we just go along with it like, ‘Yup, that’s me.’

With that in mind, how exactly are we determining which baby names are the most popular in the state? Are we sitting outside every hospital room, conducting real-time surveys?

​The Social Security Administration determines the most popular baby names by state using data from Social Security card applications. This comprehensive dataset allows the Administration to provide detailed information on their website, including the top five names for each state, offering an accurate reflection of naming trends nationwide.
