In 2021, parents were tired. The pandemic was still raging. Babies couldn't (and still can't) get vaccinated for protection from Covid-19. Many new parents weren't taking risks with their infants' health -- or, according to the US Social Security Administration, with their names.

2021年，对于父母而言是心力交瘁的一年。疫情还在肆虐，而宝宝却无法接种新冠疫苗。许多新手父母都不会拿宝宝的健康或姓名（根据美国社保管理署）开玩笑。

The federal agency's list of the top baby names of 2021 are... mostly the same as the 2020 rankings. Absent are "Doja" and "Ye" or other zeitgeisty names -- but you'll find Emma and Elijah, among other timeless monikers.

联邦机构所出具的2021年最热门宝宝姓名排行榜基本与2020年无异。排行榜中没有Doja和Ye或其他具有时代意义的名字-但是，还是会有Emma和Elijah等经典名字。

Once again, Olivia was the top name for baby girls. In second, as was the case in 2020, was Emma, followed by Charlotte, Amelia and Ava respectively. (Edged out of the top five this year was Sophia, though the name came in sixth.)

而Olivia则再次登上女宝宝最受欢迎姓名榜首。排在第二位的是Emma，和2020年一样，随后分别是Charlotte、Amelia和Ava。（Sophia被挤出了前五位，排在第六）。

For baby boys, the name Liam once again reigned supreme, followed by Noah, Oliver, Elijah and James. William cracked the top five in 2020 but placed sixth in 2021.

对于男宝宝，Liam再次摘得桂冠，接下来是Noah、Oliver、Elijah和James。William在2020年跻身前五名，但在2021年排名第六。

Female baby names have stayed relatively stable for the last decade -- in 2011, Emma, Olivia, Sophia and Ava were all in the top five (plus Isabella, which fell to seventh place in 2021), per the US Social Security Administration.

根据美国社保管理署，女宝宝的名字在过去十年相对保持稳定-2011年，Emma、Olivia、Sophia和Ava为前五个最受欢迎的姓名（再加上Isabella，其在2021年位列第七）。

Meanwhile, a decade earlier, only Noah cracked the top five of male names -- instead, there are probably a good amount of Jacobs, Masons, Williams and Jaydens entering middle school this year.

同时，一年前，只有Noah跻身最受欢迎男宝宝姓名前五位-今年，进入中学的会有大量的Jacobs、Masons、Williams和Jaydens。

But some parents are setting new trends: The names that are growing fastest in popularity include Amiri, Ozzy and Loyal for males and Raya, Wrenly and Ocean for females. Look out for babies named for stones, like Onyx, or celebrities, like Bowie, or colors, like Navy. Beautiful names, all!

但是，有些父母开始树立新的潮流：流行速度最快的男宝宝名字有Amiri、Ozzy和Loyal，女宝宝名字有Raya、Wrenly和Ocean。还有一些宝宝是以石头命名的，比如Onyx或者是名人的名字，比如Bowie或者颜色，比如Navy。所有名字都很好听！
