It's All in the Name

Emily again topped the list of most popular baby girl names last year, registering as No. 1 for the eighth straight time. Jacob led among names for boys for the fourth year in a row.

Three more biblical names followed Jacob for the boys: Michael, Joshua and Matthew. For girls, Emma, Madison and Hannah came after Emily, which has been the most popular female name since 1996.

Rounding out the top 10 for girls, in order, were Olivia, Abigail, Alexis, Ashley, Elizabeth and Samantha.

The list for boys continued with Andrew, Joseph, Ethan, Daniel, Christopher and Anthony.

1 It amazes me how many people do not consider these name popularity thingies. My friend was going to name her daughter Emma. I finally talked her out of it after horror stories of a life known as Emma R. She went with Anya.
