How evenly these names are shared

The most evenly split name on the list is Dakota: in 2025, 49% of the children given it were recorded as girls and 51% as boys. Together the hundred names here account for 182,887 births, and eight of them are in the 2025 top 100.

45 of them lean towards girls today and 55 towards boys. The two edges of the list show how wide "neutral" is here: Camryn goes to girls 91% of the time and Callahan to boys 93% of the time, and both still qualify.

The file records the sex a child was registered as, not a name's gender, and the balance is measured over the last ten years rather than over all of 1880–2025. A name that has changed sides therefore shows where it stands now: measured across the whole record, several of these would read as settled one way when they are not.
