Do you know one-year-old baby named Liam? Or Olivia? You might, the Social Security Administration said.
According to a press release issued Friday, Liam was the most popular boy baby name for 2023 in the U.S. Olivia was the most popular name for baby girls in 2023, the release added.
Those two names both held the same title of "most popular" boy and girl names for the past five years, the agency said.
In addition to Liam and Olivia, for the fifth consecutive year, Noah took the second slot for most popular boy name, and Emma took the No 2. spot for most popular girl name.
The only new name appearing in the top 10 list for the 2023 calendar year was Mateo, the release said.
According to the release, the agency began compiling "top baby names" lists in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. The agency this year also compiled a list for the "fastest rising boys' and girls' names of 2023," noting that pop culture and social media often plays a role.
"The fastest rising girl’s name, Kaeli, went viral in 2023," the release stated. "Parents must have really smashed the ‘like’ button for YouTube and TikTok star Kaeli McEwen (also known as Kaeli Mae), who routinely promotes a clean, tidy, and neutral-aesthetic lifestyle."

The agency also pointed out that Chozen, the second-fastest rising boys' name for 2023, was a character on the hit Netflix show Cobra Kai.
According to the agency, the top baby names list for each state comes out later this month.
