What were the top baby names in New Mexico for 2024?
Not to name names, but here’s something to know: Levi and Oliver are back, and so are Aurora and Emily.
Noah and Liam? Boys will be boys, as those two continue to wrestle for first place.
And, girl, whether it’s Sofia or Sophia, you’ve got a solid chance of finding one of them somewhere out there.
The state Department of Health this week released the top baby names in New Mexico for 2024. The list, compiled by DOH’s Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, is provisional and subject to change depending on what the storks have in store for the last few weeks of the year. Or to put it another way, there could be a bump ... in some baby names.
But on to the results: topping the list for the girls were Camila, Mia and Emma, while Noah, Liam and Ezekiel led the boys’ side.
As for trends, the Department of Health identified several:
- “Eight each of the Top 10 names for both boys and girls have stayed on the Top 10 list for three consecutive years.”
- “Levi and Oliver rejoined the boys’ list, replacing Josiah and Julian. Levi last appeared in 2021, and Oliver in 2022.”
- “Aurora and Emily returned to the girls’ list for the first time since 2017, taking the spots of Aria and Luna.”
- “Sofia and Sophia have been Top 10 contenders, appearing in the girls’ Top 10 in seven of the last 10 years.”
- “Noah has reclaimed the top boy’s name from Liam, continuing their long-standing back-and-forth competition for first place over the last seven years.”
