PITTSBURGH, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Oliver" Takes the Top Spot for Baby Boys, Followed Closely by "Olivia" For Baby Girls

Allegheny Health Network (AHN) released today the most popular names given to babies born across its maternity care units last year. Oliver earned the top spot for baby boys, followed closely by its sister name, Olivia, which topped the charts for beautiful baby girls.

"Our programs, conveniently situated throughout the region, bring the highest level of sophisticated maternity care for mom and baby – all close to home," said Marcia Klein-Patel, MD, PhD, Chair of AHN Women's Institute.

The following names were the top 5 names for baby boys and girls:

Baby Boys

  2. Jack 
  3. Theodore 
  4. Owen 
  5. Liam

Baby Girls

  1. Olivia 
  2. Amelia 
  3. Evelyn 
  4. Charlotte 
  5. Nora

"This is a fun, creative way to highlight our bustling labor and delivery programs, and the remarkable patient experiences created by our exceptional obstetricians, nurses, neonatologists, pediatricians, APPs and lactation consultants," said Marcia Klein-Patel, MD, PhD, Chair of AHN Women's Institute. "Our programs, conveniently situated throughout the region, bring the highest level of sophisticated maternity care for mom and baby – all close to home. It's an absolute honor to be a part these special birthdays, and we look forward to bringing many more babies into the world this year."

Key Takeaways:

  • In 2024, nearly 8,400 babies were born across the network's labor and delivery programs at AHN Forbes, AHN Jefferson, AHN Wexford, AHN West Penn and AHN Saint Vincent in Erie.
  • Staying power: Owen, Charlotte and Olivia have all remained in the top five for both girls and boys for the second consecutive year. Charlotte was the No. 1 girl's name in 2023.
  • Big drops and jumps: Noah, the No. 1 seed in 2023, dropped to No. 15 in the baby boy category, while Amelia made a large jump from outside the top 15 in 2023 to No. 2 in the baby girl category in 2024.
  • Unique names: More than 2,100 baby names were original for the network in 2024 – used only one time. In all, parents used more than 3,100 different names.
  • Alphabetically speaking: The first names, alphabetically, to be used more than once in 2024 were Aaliyah (girl) and Aaron (boy). The last names, alphabetically, to be used more than once were Zyla (girl) and Zion (boy).
  • Trending: Across the country, Oliver takes the No. 3 spot for popularity, following Noah and Liam, while Olivia is No. 1 both at AHN and nationwide, with Amelia and Emma coming in second and third place, according to a report issued by BabyCenter late last year.

AHN Women's Institute:
Throughout the region, clinicians across the AHN Women's Institute work with women from conception through the fourth trimester to provide comprehensive care that works to meet the family's health goals and provide the best possible outcomes for both mom and baby.

The AHN Women's Institute also works closely with teams from behavioral health, social services, neonatology and pediatrics to design tailored care plans for areas of focus such as postpartum depression and anxiety, as well as specialized infant care.

AHN Forbes, Wexford and Jefferson offer level II neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) for non-critically ill infants, while AHN Saint Vincent and West Penn hospitals can care for critically ill babies in their advanced Level III NICUs.

All AHN L&D teams also work closely with pediatricians from the AHN Pediatric Institute to help ensure babies are best positioned to thrive from infancy and beyond. At the AHN postpartum suites, pediatricians consistently round on families to perform routine wellness visits which may include hearing screenings, blood sugar monitoring, lactation consultations, vaccination consultations, and safe sleep checks. Following discharge, a warm handoff is then performed by AHN OB/GYN physicians to the network's leading pediatricians.

The Network is composed of 14 hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, Health + Wellness Pavilions, multiple employed physician organizations, home and community based health services, a research institute, and a group purchasing organization.
