How 2020–2025 boy names compare

Liam was the most common boy name of 2020–2025, given to 124,842 boys across those years, with Noah, Oliver, James and Elijah behind it. The hundredth name on the list, Xavier, accounts for 21,282. Between them the hundred names cover 3,962,171 births. Liam was number one in every one of those six years. 2020–2025 is six years of data rather than ten, so these totals are lower than a finished decade's and should not be compared with one directly.

77 of these names were also in the 2010s top 100, and 23 were not. 88 are still in the 2025 top 100 — Liam, Noah, Oliver, James, Elijah, William, Henry and Lucas, among others — and 100 are inside the top 500.

Those hundred names cover 38.2% of all boys born in 2020–2025 — 3,962,171 of 10,363,106 — and Liam alone accounts for 1.2% of them. Whether that is narrow or wide depends on the decade you set it against, and the lists either side of this one make the comparison. Every one of the hundred was already in the record before 2020–2025 began.
