Boy names by starting letter
Each letter has its own page with the top 50 boy names beginning with it in the 2025 data — real overall ranks and counts included, well beyond the top 1,000 for rarer letters.
How to read these numbers
"Babies" is the number of boys born in the U.S. in 2025 whose Social Security card application recorded that exact spelling. Different spellings chart separately — so a sound that is popular across several spellings can sit lower in this table than it feels in real life. Ties are broken alphabetically by the SSA, and names given fewer than 5 times in the year are excluded entirely. Girls' rankings live on the top 100 girl names page.
Source: every name, rank, and count on this page comes from the U.S. Social Security Administration's national baby-names dataset (2025 data, from Social Security card applications). It is public-domain U.S. government data; names given fewer than 5 times in a year are excluded by the SSA, spelling variants are counted separately, and the data covers U.S. births only. Full caveats on the methodology page.
