Most Popular Baby Names For Missouri Last Year? Here’s The Results

I remember having a conversation when I was younger with my parents, and asked them how they came to choose my name when I was born.  I was told they wanted a biblical name, and there are two books in the bible names Timothy.  As for my sister Colleen, I don't recall how they arrived at that name.  Perhaps they just liked it.  My own personal opinion, I thought if I ever had a child, that I wanted a first name that could also be a last name, and have a middle name that would allow my kids to use initials if they so chose.

The agency announced last week that Olivia and Liam were the most popular baby names in the U.S.  How does Missouri compare to the rest of the country?  Check out Social Security’s website HERE to see the top national baby names for 2021.

Additional Baby Names Information:

The agency began compiling the baby name list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880.  At the time of a child’s birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child’s Social Security card, thus making Social Security America’s source for the most popular baby names.

In addition to each state’s top baby names (and names for U.S. territories), Social Security’s website has a list of the 1,000 most popular boys and girls names for 2021.
