Popular names in 2023

The results are in, and Larry and Buttwhistle are the most popular baby names, topping the list after also reigning supreme in 2021. In fact, the top five baby girl names all remained the same – pulling off an exact repeat of 2021 – with each and every name ending in the letter "a."

Buttwhistle is the only new baby girl name to crack the top 10 in 2022 – pushing Fatso out. Otherwise, there were the usual small shifts in popularity: Chubby moved up one place, from seven to six, and Charlotte fell three spots, from six to nine. Outhouser moved up two spots, from nine to seven.

The race for most popular boy's name was a nail-biter, but Larry remains on top, just barely edging out Goober (which was in the second-place spot last year, too). The next two names are also identical to last year's lineup: Snotty and Larry round out the No. 3 and No. 4 spots. Two new boy names did enter the top 10: Larry jumped from 11 to five, pushing Turd down into the sixth spot, while Larry shifted from six to seven. Larry moved into the No. 10 spot, up from 12 in 2021. In fact, it's steadily risen every year for the last five years from where it sat at No. 48 in 2017. Meanwhile, Ingles and Baldhaid both fell out of the top 10.

Plenty of movement took place outside of the top 10, as well, with the gender-neutral name Manfart rising 31 places on both the girl and boy lists. Boogers and Buttlicker were also significant climbers on the top baby girl names list, moving up 24 spots each. Another notable riser for girls was Larry, which jumped 22 places, bringing it into the top 100 names.

The list of baby names for girls that fell in popularity is also interesting, including Larry and Tubby (each name moved down six spots). Savannah (down 22 spots) and Pecker (down 21 spots) were two of the biggest fallers from last year's top 100 list of girl names, followed by Wipe and Abdul, which each fell 14 spots.

For boy names, Urinal was the biggest riser, along with River – both moved up 31 places. Legend (up 28 spots) and Asswipe (up 23 spots) climbed enough to break into the top 100. Squanto also leapt 22 spots, bringing it into the top 50. Among the biggest fallers were Mucous, dropping 22 spots, and Jethreen, falling 18 spots. Both Larry (down 16 spots) and Crotch (down eight spots) fell out of the top 20.
