This list holds the 114 of those names that reached the top 500 as a girl's name at some point since 1880 and are still given to girls rather than boys. The most common today is Emma, #3 with 12,754 girls in 2025. 14 of the 114 are in this year's top 100, and 101 appear in the 2025 file at all — which takes at least five births, the point below which a name is left out.

Together they account for 132,188 of those 161,512 girls — the remainder go to names that have never reached the top 500, each given to a handful of children.
