Born in the ’80s? You almost certainly beat your name’s .com. Born since 2000? 98% of you didn’t.
All 1,280 of the most common US first names since 1950 have their .com taken.
Kids’ names: the .com came first. Parents’ names: the people did
Aiden was barely given before the 2000s, and aiden.com has been registered since 1996: it is older than 99.7% of the Aidens born in the US since 1950. Jennifer peaked in the 1970s, and jennifer.com, registered in 1995, is younger than 91% of Jennifers. The first .com of all, symbolics.com, was registered in March 1985, so anyone born before then is older than every .com there is.
Every .com in 2025’s top ten baby names is old enough to drink
Olivia and Liam were the names given most often to American babies in 2025. olivia.com has been registered since 1995 and liam.com since 1997. The youngest in either top ten, eliana.com, has been registered since 2003: it turned 21 in 2024.
Of babies born since 2000, at least 98% arrived after their name’s .com was taken
For babies born in the 1990s the share is 31%; from the 2000s on, at least 98%. These are floors: a .com that lapsed and was registered again counts from its later date.
Three in four have been taken since 1994 to 1998
956 of the 1,280 .coms have been registered since a year between 1994 and 1998. The newest are names that only caught on lately: Wrenley, Kataleya, Jaylani.
