When it comes to naming your baby, you find all different forms of inspiration. For my daughter, I wanted her to have a strong, classic name that she could be inspired by. For my son, it was a play on another word that had a strong meaning. According to recent studies that have been done, I'm not alone in going with names that are older.

The most popular baby names in Texas are all about old-school cool.

According to a study done by Nameberry, the most popular baby names in Texas are older names. For boys, Liam is the top name. For girls, the top name is Olivia.

The top ten boy names for 2023 are:

  • Liam
  • Noah
  • Mateo
  • Sebastian
  • Santiago
  • Elijah
  • Oliver
  • Daniel
  • Jose
  • Levi

The top ten girl names for 2023 are:

  • Olivia
  • Emma
  • Camila
  • Isabella
  • Mia
  • Sophia
  • Amelia
  • Sofia
  • Luna
  • Ava

I find the number of biblical names in the top ten boy names to be interesting. I also wonder if Liam being a top pick has anything to do with a certain Hollywood action star that has a certain set of skills...if you know what I mean.

The top girl names are fascinating because they all end in -a. They're also fairly long, for the most part.
