Noah ended Jacob's 14-year reign as the top baby name for boys in 2013, while Sophia was the most popular name for girls for the third straight year, Social Security announced Friday.

Jacob slipped to third, with Liam coming in second. Among girls, Emma and Olivia ranked second and third, respectively.

The list - released annually just before Mother's Day - is the most complete of the popular baby name lists because parents supply the information when they apply for their child's Social Security number. Other lists are based on parents registering their baby's name with a particular site.

New parents in 2013 applied for a Social Security number for 4 million babies. Social Security started compiling baby name lists in 1997, and the agency's website offers lists of baby names for each year since 1880.
