The two names were the leaders in BabyCenter’s Top 100 Baby Names list, which was announced Monday.

The rankings come from parents who share their babies’ names with the parenting resource site.

No new names entered the top 10 girls’ list. Amelia moved up two spots to No. 3, while Charlotte moved from No. 8 to No. 6, the website reported.

Two names entered the top 10 on the boys’ side. Levi jumped 10 spots to No. 6, while Asher improved 14 places to No. 8, according to BabyCenter. Oliver and Elijah traded places at No. 3 and 4; Mateo and Logan dropped out of the top 10, the website said.
