Los Angeles Baby Names

The top Los Angeles baby names among Nameberry visitors are Maeve for girls and Soren for boys. Los Angeles is the US city with the second-highest number of Nameberry visitors, nearly 500,000 people for 1.2 million pageviews so far this year.

Girl names that rank only on LA’s Top 10 are Sadie, Freya, Juniper, and Ophelia, while for boys regal word name Royal – recently boosted by sci-fi drama Outer Range – is unique to the top of LA’s charts.

The top names in Los Angeles bear the closest resemblance to the top New York City baby names, with eight names appearing on the popularity lists for both cities. Along with Maeve, girl names ranking in both LA and NYC are Aurelia, Esme, and Aurora. Boy names popular in both cities include Finn, Felix, Arlo, and Ezra.

The most popular Los Angeles baby names differ radically from the official list of top California baby names. The Top 10 lists for California state and its largest city don't share any names.

Compared with the top San Francisco baby names, parents in both California cities rank Atlas, Felix, Asher, and Arlo among the Top 10 boy names.

Los Angeles offers a lot of places, people, and themes to inspire baby names themed to the city. Here are some prime examples.
