Baby name trends can vary by state and region, but there are certainly overlaps.

When the Social Security Administration released its list of most popular baby names of 2018 , the agency also shared the state-by-state breakdown .

The 2018 data shows that the top three names for girls in the U.S. Emma, Olivia and Ava also dominated on the state level, taking the No. 1 spot in the highest number of states. Meanwhile, the No. 1 boys name nationally Liam was the top pick for boys in the highest number of states, but Oliver, which ranks No. 5 in the U.S., was the top name in the second-highest number of states.

Some interesting outliers were Aurora, which ranks at No. 44 nationally but was the top name for girls in Alaska last year, and Grayson, the No. 1 name for boys in South Dakota but No. 32 in the U.S. as a whole.
