Teachers should get ready to frequently call Liam and Olivia during attendance in 14 years.
Those were the most common baby names of 2023, according to a report by the Social Security Administration that was released last week.
The names have been gaining in popularity, with Liam now accounting for more than 1 out of every 100 boys’ names, and Olivia given to almost one in every hundred girl babies.
Out of Rio’s current 1,833 students, there are five Liams and 11 Olivias, making it one of the more popular girls’ names. There are 25 variations of Kate, including Kate (7), Katelyn (6), Katryna (1), Katey (1), Katherine (7), Kathryn (1) and Katie (2).
Among boys, there are 10 Mohammads and one Muhommed, and 10 Dylans and one Dillon.

Liam is interesting, although Olivia does not surprise me. I think its hilarious that Mateo is most popular too, as that is one of my best friends name, and I feel like he is so unique, and I’ve never heard that name before.

Kate being the most popular name at our school definitely does not surprise me. I know so many Kates and even some of my closest friends are named Kate. I do not think I have had a single class where there hasn’t been a Kate, Cate, Katie, or Katherine. I always find it interesting that a generation can have a lot of one name and the next has almost none, like how this year Kate is not even on the most popular list.
