Nantucket's Most Popular Baby Names Of 2023
Jason Graziadei •
We already know what the most popular baby names are in the U.S. - but what about Nantucket?
We paid a visit to the Nantucket Town Clerk's office to find out, and we learned a lot. There were 158 babies born on Nantucket in 2023, and the variety of names was impressive. And it turns out we have a tie for the most popular:
- Top baby names on Nantucket in 2023 for boys:
Grayson and Lucas
- Top baby names on Nantucket in 2023 for girls:
Leah and Sarah
Those names, however, were bestowed upon just two babies each. Again, a total of 158 babies isn't that many, and the variety of names chosen by island parents was fascinating (full list below).
But first, a few more caveats: while there were 158 birth certificates recorded at the Nantucket Town Clerk's office in 2023, we only had access to 108. That's because of a Massachusetts law that separates birth certificates based on the parent's marital status. If the parents were not married at the time of the birth or the father is not named on the record, the birth certificate is considered a restricted record and is not public.
