Frequently asked questions

What is the most popular baby name in New Hampshire?
For births registered in 2025, Theodore was the top boy's name (101) and Charlotte was the top girl's name (80), according to Social Security card applications filed for New Hampshire births.
Where does this New Hampshire data come from?
The Social Security Administration publishes a state-specific file of names taken from Social Security card applications. It covers 2008 onward in the range shown here and is public domain.
Why are some names missing from the New Hampshire list?
SSA withholds any name with fewer than 5 occurrences in a state and year. That is a privacy rule, not a gap in the records, so a missing name means "fewer than 5", never zero.
Do these counts include every baby born in New Hampshire?
They include births with a Social Security card application that lists New Hampshire as the state of birth. Names are counted as written on the application, so spelling variants are counted separately.
How often is the New Hampshire ranking updated?
SSA releases the previous year's data annually, usually in the first half of the following year. Past years do not change once published.
