Jackson has remained the most popular name for newborn boys in the United States, according to analysis by babycenter.com.
But it faced strong competition from a trend that is seeing the increasing popularity of Celtic boys' names like Aiden (2nd), Liam (3rd) and Caden, which was the eighth most popular name and was outside the top 20 until recently.
The girls' top ten list also remained relatively unchanged with only Madison breaking into the list of most popular names.
Sophia remained the most popular female name with Emma and Olivia in spots two and three for the fourth year in a row, the site said.
Babycenter's analysis takes in data from 340,000 parents who have shared their offspring's names with the website in 2015.
It also combines variations in the spellings of names, with names like Jackson having a number of variants including Jaxon.
Other rapid risers included Muhammad, which rose 19 spots in the top 100 to 39.
The fastest rising girls' name was Paisley, the name of a Scottish town, which rose 32 places to 64.
Dropping in popularity was girl's name Bailey and boy's name Charlie, which fell by 19 places to 81.
BabyCenter's analysis found that among the biggest risers were gender-neutral names like Emery (Girl) Taylor (Girl), Riley (Girl), Chase (Boy) and Carson (Boy).
Another group of fast risers was names like Lux, Juno, Ludwig, Amaro, Valencia and Willow - all tools and filters used to manipulate pictures on the Instagram website.
Facebook-owned Instagram is one of the most widely used social media sites among young people, with its user base rising by nearly a quarter in 2013 according to Digitaltrends.com.
The success of actresses like Juno Temple and Willow Shields may have also contributed to the rise of some of the names.
Celestial names also proved increasingly popular with Venus rising 68%, Soleil jumping 28% and Stella shooting up the top 100 list to the number 68 spot.
Regal names, possibly influenced by the birth of a royal baby in the United Kingdom, also increased hugely in popularity with names like Royalty up 77% for girls, Duchess up 75% and Kourtney Kardashian's daughter's name Reign surging by 54%.
Charlotte, the name of the UK's new princess, dropped one place to 14th.
Another trend was for names that feature prominently in young adult fiction with Hazel (from Hazel Grace Lancaster in John Green's The Fault In Our Stars) climbing 52%, and Eleanor (the heroine in Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park) up 20%.
The trend was preluded by the rise of Katniss, from the lead character in the Hunger Games books, which surged in popularity after 2011 when the books reached a peak of popularity.
Some of the most unusual entrants into Babycenter's list included rising numbers of mythical figures, like Atlas (Girl), Gaia (Girl) and Odin (Boy), and names influenced by people's favourite movie stars like Swayze and Orson (Boys) or fashion labels, like Armani (Girl).
