The Most Popular Baby Names in Michigan

Find out what baby names Michigan parents loved in 2022.

The Social Security Administration has released its list of most popular baby names in 202. In Michigan, Noah remained at the No. 1 rank in 2022 with 473 little Michiganders sporting the name, and Charlotte claimed the top spot for girls once again in 2022.

The most popular names in the U.S. in 2022 were Liam and Olivia, with Olivia coming in a No. 2 and Liam ranking No. 5 for Michigan parents. 

The problem, of course, is that knowing about the popularity of a certain baby name can make parents want to avoid it altogether. If it’s too popular, they think, their child could be in a class where several students share the same name (shoutout to the Jessicas, Jennifers and Michaels who know the feeling).

Experts say that concern is less of an issue these days, since parents are choosing a greater diversity of names overall – for example, the percentage of girls given a “top 10” name dropped from around 25 percent in 1945 to 8 percent in 2007, Live Science reports.

Still, many parents are cautious about choosing a so-called “popular” name. If that’s the case for you, consider these top-ranking names.
