For girls born at the facility, a new name climbed to the top of the list this year. Lainey garnered the top spot.

But for boys, Oliver topped the list as the most popular for the fourth year in a row.

Rounding out the girls list, Amelia and Evelyn took the second and third spots. But three names—Aurora, Charlotte, and Nora—shared the fourth. Landing in fifth—Olivia.

As far as boys…Henry, Liam, Theodore, and Brooks round out the top five.

Sanford doctors delivered nearly 9,000 babies so far this year with July being the highest birth month.
