"The Baby Boy Name Knocked Off the Top Spot in 2024"

In 2024, Noah has officially lost its position as the most popular baby boy name, marking the end of its three-year reign. Although Noah remains a strong contender, Theo has now secured the top spot, reflecting a shift in naming preferences. The rise of Theo is part of a broader trend of modern names overtaking traditional choices like Oliver and George, which have slipped down the ranks. This shift is attributed to evolving cultural influences, including the popularity of certain TV shows, movies, and even historical figures.

Noah's departure from the top of the charts coincides with an increase in the popularity of names inspired by the 90s and newer pop culture icons​.

Theo's ascent can be linked to its fresh, contemporary feel, making it more appealing to a new generation of parents seeking names that blend tradition with modernity​.

As for other rising stars in baby boy names, names like Mateo and Theodore are climbing the ranks, while older names such as Joseph and Harvey are losing favor​

This shift reflects broader societal trends and a growing desire for names that feel both timeless and unique, paving the way for new names to capture the spotlight in 2024.
