New York parents relied on the familiar when naming their little ones last year, making Michael and Ashley the most popular baby names in the city last year, according to rankings released today by the city’s Department of Health.

But trendier monikers, such as Mia and Madison for girls, and Jayden for boys, also placed in the top 10.

The annual ranking, published today, included names inspired by countries, counties, and cities. Among girls, the name London ranked 143 and Brooklyn ranked 151. Some parents named their children after celebrities, with Angelina ranking 16 and Britney ranking 119.

The popularity of names varied by race and ethnicity. Among Hispanics, Angel and Ashley were the most popular; among Asians, Jason and Emily ranked first; among whites, Michael and Sarah were at the top of the list, and among black babies, Joshua and Kayla were the most popular.

All of the lists included standbys, especially for boys. Joseph ranked among the top ten names as it did in 1898, and Michael has been the most popular boy’s name since 1980. Among girls, Ashley regained first place after edging out Emily – but both names have dominated since the 1990s.

There were 125,506 babies born in New York City last year.
