What's Your Favorite Baby Name?

From the Social Security Administration:

Jacob and Isabella are king and queen of the crib for another year.  This is the twelfth year in a row on our list for Jacob and the second for Isabella, although 2010 has a new number two for girls, Sophia.  The only new name to crawl into the top 10 on either list this year is Aiden, which replaces Joshua on the boys’ side.

In addition to each state’s top 100 baby names, Social Security’s website has a list of the 1,000 most popular boys’ and girls’ names for 2010 and a list of the top 100 names for twins born in 2010.  The website also offers lists of baby names for each year since 1880. 

To read about this year’s winner for biggest jump in popularity, how pop culture (teen moms and frogs) affects baby names, and whether or not Elvis still lives, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/baby-names2010-pr.html

Coming soon, Social Security will introduce a baby names mobile application.  The Baby Name Playroom application will provide useful information and promote Social Security’s award-winning online services at www.socialsecurity.gov, plus all the baby names info you want—from your iPhone.  Look for the new playroom at Apple’s App Store in the coming weeks.
