Southwest's Top Baby Names of 2024: A Look at the Favorites
G'day! Let's check out the hottest baby names gracing the Southwest in 2024, according to a recent survey.
The top spots for boys and girls in this sunny region still belong to Sophia and Noah, respectively. Though it's worth noting that this data doesn't come from the Society for the German Language (GfdS),but rather regional registration offices.
In the state of Baden-Württemberg, Matteo and Luca/Luka stood as the second and third favorite boy's names, whereas Emma and Lina trailed Sophia for the girls' top runner-up positions. On a national scale, Marie and Maria, and Matteo and Paul led the pack.
Now, why the enduring love for Sophia and Noah? Andrea Ewels, business manager at GfdS (not to be confused with the one in Germany), explains it's all about the sound. Parents find these names lovely and pleasing, thanks to their vowel-heavy charm. Additionally, they're brief, easy to pronounce, and universally recognizable. Oh, and let's not forget that modern, timeless vibe that's so appealing to many!
Since 1977, GfdS (our version) has released an annual listing of the most popular baby names in the United States. Over 750 local offices contribute their data, resulting in nearly 900,000 registered entries. In 2024, almost 92% of all given names were accounted for, GfdS reported.
