Top 10 Most Popular Baby Names


The most popular name for a baby girl is Emily. If that sounds like last year's news, it is. And the year before that. And the year before that. Emily has topped the list of the most popular girls' names for the eighth year in a row, reports The Associated Press of the latest and greatest baby name list released on Friday by the Social Security Administration. Jacob led the list of boys' names for the fourth year in a row. Only two names--Anthony and Elizabeth--are new to this year's list. The Social Security Administration based this list on applications for Social Security cards for children born in 2003.
