Evelyn won the competition for the number one female name among Wyoming’s new babies in 2023, with Henry topping the race among male names, according to Vital Statistics Services (VSS), part of the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH).
For girl newborns in Wyoming for 2023, Evelyn led Amelia, Olivia, Harper, Charlotte, Hazel, Eleanor, Lainey, Oakley and Aurora to round out the top ten on the list.
For boys, Henry was followed by Jack and Wyatt tying for second place. Next on the list were Elijah, Carter, Asher, Theodore, Benjamin, Waylon and Noah.
Kyndra Herrera, VSS deputy state registrar with WDH, said, “There was more of a shakeup among the top names last year than we typically see. Parents look at many factors when making their choices. Sometimes they pass on family names. Other influences include movies, television shows, musicians or celebrities.”
