Meet Iowa's trendiest baby names

As it turns out, Iowans haven't been conforming to all the national baby name trends over the last decade.

The big picture: "Millie," "Maeve," "Theo" and "Dean" have seen the largest increases in popularity in the state since 2013, according to new Social Security Administration data.

• Americans broadly have been more drawn towards "Atlas," "Nova" and "Thiago."
• "Theo" is the only top Iowa name that overlaps with the national trends.

The (spelling) intrigue: While "Luka" saw an 8.9x increase over the last decade across the country, Iowans opted for "Luca" at a 7.7x increase.

Losers: Since 2013, Hawkeye State parents have moved away from "Alexis," "Aubree," "Tyler" and "Gage."

That list had no overlap with the national losers, which include "Jase" and "Alexa."

• No surprise on that second one, given parents' desire to avoid accidentally triggering their Amazon smart gadgets, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick reports .

Zoom out: While the data reflects which names have grown in popularity, the state reported that the most-chosen baby names in Iowa in 2022 were "Olivia," "Charlotte," "Ava," "Oliver," "Liam" and "Theodore."

The intrigue: Seven babies were named "Kinnick" in the U.S. last year, but the sample size is too low to know which states they came from.

• We bet that at least a few were from the Hawkeye State.
