Popular Baby Names

A great place for expectant parents to find or avoid popular names for their baby is the SSA’s Popular Baby Names page.

The Top Five Names for Births in 1916-2015 is fun to look at. It is interesting to see how names came in and out of popularity over the years. The name Mary was really popular for the first half of the last century.

You don’t have to be an expectant parent to enjoy visiting the Social Security’s Baby Names page. Try putting your name in the form for the Popularity of a Name  program and see how popular your name has been over the years.
