The results are in. More than 14,000 babies were born last year across our health system, and more of them became Henry or Olivia than any other name.

For girls, the top five were:

• Olivia
• Charlotte
• Nora
• Amelia
• Evelyn

For boys, the top five were:

• Henry
• Theodore
• William
• Owen
• Oliver

Don’t be surprised if you meet a lot of little Minnesotans with these names, as most were also state favorites, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Our list reflects national trends, too, with Olivia, Charlotte, Evelyn, and Amelia, as well as William and Oliver represented on the Top 10 U.S. Baby Names list on Nameberry.com.
