If you look back at baby names over the past few decades, the rule of thumb used to be that boy names were relatively stable. According to the Social Security Administration (SSA) — which keeps track of these things, going back to the late 1800s — Michael was the most popular boy's name in the country from 1954 to 1998 (with a little blip in 1960 when David took the top spot for a year). That's 44 years of Michaels! After that, it was Jacob, which had a 13-year run from 1999 to 2020.
