Ava remained as the third choice for four consecutive years, but William fell from third to fourth place. Noah came in second place, and Oliver jumped two spots to replace William as the third favorite among American parents.

Other significant changes to the girls' list: Sophia replaced Isabella in the number four spot on the list and Amelia came in seventh place, ahead of Mia.

As for the boys' list, significant changes from the 2018 list of popular names include Elijah jumping two spots to fifth. Logan was 10th name on the list in 2018 but was replaced by Ethan for 2019. Logan fell out of the top 10 for the first time in three years.
