Popular Names in Kansas
The most popular names in Kansas for 2024 are Oliver and Charlotte. Oliver is the Number 3 most popular baby name for 2024, whereas Charlotte ranks at Number 4 nationally.
Most of the Top 10 most popular names in Kansas also make the Top 10 for the US as a whole, with the exceptions of Eleanor, Harper, Aurora, and Elizabeth for girls, and Hudson, Bennett, and Cooper for boys. Looking just beyond the Top 10, however, Brooks ranks in the Kansas Top 20 for boys, despite being outside the US Top 50, while for girls, Lainey, Lucy, and Avery rank notably higher in Kansas than it does nationally.
Modern, unisex names for girls are more popular than average in Kansas, with Sutton, Scottie, Emery, and Parker making the Top 100 in the state. Names which end with the trendy 'lee' sound such as Hadley, Oakley, Paisley, Wrenley, and Brynlee are also uniquely popular for Kansas girls.
This preference for modern names can be seen among the Kansas Top 100 names for boys too, where Baker, Hayes, Archer, Ryker, and Stetson are used more than average.
