How this list is built
Ranked by how far each name has climbed between 2020 and 2025, measured as a ratio of rank places so a jump from #900 to #450 counts the same as #20 to #10. To be eligible a name must be inside the top 300 today with at least 1,000 applications in 2025 — without that floor the list fills up with rare names leaping from #5,000 to #400 on a few hundred applications.
Ranks come from U.S. births, counted separately for girls and boys. A name used fewer than 5 times in a year isn’t published for that year, so “unranked” means uncommon, not unused.
