Top 100 Boy Names in New York, 2025

Below that pair, the state's long-standing favorites still hold their ground — Joseph, James, Jacob, Michael and Henry all finish inside the top 15. The movement is happening just beneath them, where Luca edges up to sixth and Oliver and Leo follow close behind.

Eithan makes the list's biggest leap, up 85 places to 58th, followed by Bennett (+43) and Rowan (+30). Charles also climbs back into the top 50, part of a broader return for older, more formal names that includes Vincent and Arthur.

Further down, Gael slides 20 places to 99th, while Aiden, Josiah and Robert each drop 17. Around them the middle of the list leans short and soft — Leo, Eli, Theo, Kai — with unisex-sounding picks like Rowan and Jace slipping in among the classics.
