Is your baby's name the top for your state? Mine aren't even close! (I live in MT) Although I do know an Emma.
-
i'm really surprised to see william is the top boy name for virginia. i actually don't know anyone who has named their son williams recently.
-
Sophia is 22 of 50 states... holly cow. My niece is named Sophia.
-
My states is Mason and Olivia. I don't know any Mason's but several Olivia's. Most are adults though!
-
Wow! Can you imagine all of the Emmas, Sophias and Masons? I'm so glad none of those are my names
-
@photojane: I think William is popular because people are naming their kids the full name and then calling him nicknames like Liam, which seems to be pretty popular right now.
Emma and William are the popular ones for NC. I don't know any babies named this but I do know a baby with one of the most popular girl names - Sophia (Sophie).
-
Mason is #1 boy's name in MI-- Dh's best friend just named his son Mason~
-
@mediagirl: Hey hey fellow NC'er haha
-
Sophia is the top name in CA. The only person I know with a baby named Sophia lives in Georgia!
-
Nope. But I must say I'm surprised that Jayden is the top boy name for our state (Florida). I don't know one single person with that name/kids with that name.
-
Nope, but apparently Sarah Michelle Gellar named her new baby the same name that we have picked out!
-
Our name isn't on the list! The top names for Ca are Jacob and Sophia. I don't know any new babies with those names. I know a few Jacobs but they're all grown up.
-
@highwire: What did she name her baby?? I googled it and everything said the name hasn't been released yet.
-
@lawbee11: That article posted above says Charlotte
-
@highwire: Ohhh ok. Charlotte is her older child (I think she's 3). Her new baby is a boy (and I know you're having a girl, so that's why I was confused!)
-
@lawbee11: Ah okay, that article is misleading lol!
-
@highwire: I agree!
On a sidenote, I noticed that Mason is #1 in so many states. I know it's been speculated that Mason shot up because of Kourtney Kardashian. Do y'all think that's true or is it just coincidence? I could understand if you already liked that name then she just happened to use it, but I can't imagine being like "Oh, Kourtney Kardashian used it so now I am too!"
-
@lawbee11: I think it maybe just brought more "awareness" to the name. I hadn't heard of it too much, but then heard it on the show (yes i watch it.. lol!). But yeah, I cant imagine wanting to name my baby something because a celebrity did.. especially a Kardashian!
-
i know jacobs and sophias, but no kids named that!
-
I have a facebook "friend" (dude from high school) who has a girl named Emma. My sister thought about naming her baby due in December Mason, but I think they are going for Miles instead. I'm Ohio, btw. But that is the extent of my Mason and Emma knowledge.
-
I'm in Canada but so we weren't in that, but I know a lot of baby Sophias! (3!)
-
Nope. But I'm not surprised that the top girls name is Isabella! I know a lot of those, including my niece.
-
Wow I had no idea that Sophia was so popular. My baby's name is not on there.
-
I had no idea that Emma and Sophia were so popular.
-
Yep, from Massachusetts and named DS William. It's a family name and our last name is really unusual so we don't mind.
