Compare Baby Names by State
Is Mateo more popular in Texas or California? Pick a name and two states and get the answer with the real counts, ranks and a 10-year chart.
How it works
The tool looks the name up in SSA baby names data for the two states and the year you pick. A rank is the name's position among names given to at least 5 babies of that sex in that state and year. If a name was given to fewer than 5 babies in a state, SSA does not publish a count, and the tool says so instead of guessing. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored.
Try an example: Mateo, Texas vs California, 2025 · Olivia, New York vs Florida, 2025 · Santiago, Texas vs California, 2025
