Baby Names By Last Letter
Every last letter A–Z, with the most popular girls' and boys' names ending in it and how much ground the ending holds in 2025. Endings are far more lopsided than first letters: A alone closes 19.7% of listed names, while the ten quietest last letters together account for 1.7%. Letters are listed A–Z; the rank column is their standing by share.

Popular endings
Multi-letter endings big enough to be a style of their own. They overlap the letters above — every -ie name is also an E name — so they carry no rank.
Girls' names by ending
Boys' names by ending
Shares and counts come from official births data for 1880–2025. A name given to fewer than 5 babies of one sex in a year is not published, so “names in use” counts names that cleared that floor — the true number of distinct names is higher, and the shortfall is largest for endings carrying many rare names.
