The Arizona Department of Health Services releases the top 100 names given to babies born in the state this year. Two new names top the list. Just over 400 boys were named Liam while nearly 420 girls were named Emma.
Sophia drops to the second most popular name following a five year lead as the top girl’s name in Arizona while two-time leader, Noah, moves to the second spot on the boys’ list. The top five boy names for 2016 include Liam, Noah, Daniel, Sebastian, and Alexander. The top five girl names are Emma, Sophia, Olivia, Mia, and Isabella.
The list of baby names come from birth certificates submitted to the Arizona Department of Health Services’ Bureau of Vital Records. An official count of the year’s top baby names will be verified in February 2017.
