M Health Fairview announced its list of top baby names of 2024 after the system helped deliver 12,000 babies at nine locations around the state.


Boy names Theodore, Oliver and Henry have had lasting appeal, taking turns in the top three spots on Fairview’s annual list since 2021.


For girls’ names, Olivia, Emma and Evelyn dethroned the perennial frontrunner, Charlotte.


Steph Coffield is a name consultant and a Minnesota mom. Her social media account, Names with Steph, has garnered hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram by posting name suggestions, inspiration and offering name consulting services.


She’s also the author of two books, “Names Don’t Have an Age” and “Names Don’t Have a Gender.”


Coffield joined Minnesota Now to talk about this year’s baby name list.
