And there are some nuances when it comes to race. Among Latino babies, the names Isabella (for girls) and Liam (boys) top the charts. Madison and Noah are number one for black babies. Emma and David are most common for white newborns, while Olivia and Jayden top the list for Asian and Pacific Islanders.
Names like Damiris, Eunice and Dimitri were assigned to fewer than 10 babies in the city. And Brooklyn had the most children born in 2015 — more than double than that of any other borough.
