SSA list in your state

[mrstrivette]

Top Ten for PA:


1. Mason & Sophia
2. Michael & Emma
3. Jacob & Ava
4. Logan & Olivia
5. Ryan & Isabella
6. Noah & Abigail
7. Liam & Emily
8. Ethan & Madison
9. Benjamin & Ella
10. William & Mia

My son's name Hunter is #48 & my daughter's name Zoe is #52. But the Zoey spelling is #37.

The dreaded Nevaeh is #36! Matthew is #15. I'm surprised that one is that high, but there's actually ALOT of traditional boy's names on PA's top 101.

esrever88, I was noticing the other day that CA seems to be a little behind in names. It's like they're stuck in late 90s, early 2000s. For example, Stephanie, Jessica, Vanessa, Nicole, Jennifer, Melissa, Valerie, and Jacqueline were all in the top 100, and Ashley and Kimberly were much highter there than most other states. Do you find this in everyday life when you meet kids?

You know, I do find it interesting that some of those very 80's/90's names are ranked so highly here, especially since CA is considered so "fashion forward". I do know a 1-year-old Jennifer, but I haven't heard any of the other names (on children, anyway) in my area. It seems like every other kid I meet is named Mason or Violet, actually.

I gotta say, though, that I much prefer Kimberly, Andrea and Jennifer to Addison, Madison and Nevaeh, none of which are as popular here as they are nationally (though I've heard all three in my area).

CA is such a huge state! I'm sure the fashion-forward areas are on the Mason/Violet bandwagon. I live in a small state and our stats still didn't match up to the names of the new babies I meet.

For Wisconsin

Top Ten:

Mason & Sophia
Liam & Emma
William & Ava
Logan & Olivia
Owen & Isabella
Noah & Addison
Jacob & Ella
Jackson & Abigail
Alexander & Evelyn
Benjamin & Grace

I'm very impressed! Evelyn's number 9 for girls, and Abigail is 8th. I like that Owen and Noah are high up too, and Benjamin is a nice one for the tenth slot.
I'm also amused by seeing Liam as #2, and William at #3.

Other names I'm happy to see:
Elijah
Evan
Jack
Nolan
Oliver
Caleb
Anthony
Parker
Eli
Blake
Carson
Charles! (#50)
Easton
Thomas
Ian
Maxwell
Colton
Bryce
Adrian


Hannah
Lauren
Lydia
Anna
Molly (It's ranked higher than Peyton and Arianna and Ariana)
Autumn
Stella
Audrey
Cora
Liliana
Clara
Vivian is number 100

While a lot of the above aren't my style, it's so nice to see varying styles that aren't trendy in the top 100. I would've never expected to see Charles(#50) ranked higher than Ayden (#96)!
Benjamin (#10) is higher than Aiden (#14), Brayden and Jayden are at 29 and 27 respectively. (Isaac is smack in the middle at 28)

I love that my top names for a boy and girl aren't on the top 100 list!
Nathaniel, Alessandra/Alexia.
It's just refreshing, since Liam used to be my top boys name and that's ranked #2 on this list.

I was looking at my state list (Ohio) again, and a couple of things stood out:

1. Jordan is more popular for BOYS in my state. It didn't even make the Top 100 for girls in Ohio. It's 55 for boys.

2. With all the alternate spellings, Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson is really the most popular boys name in my state. And that's without adding in Jack.

3. Also, a question. Is Alivia supposed to be an alternate of Olivia? Because it's in the Top 100, and I just don't get it. It's not visually attractive in the least.

Alabama is pretty similar to the national average for gals. The only big difference was Anna.

1. Emma (3 nationally)
2. Ava (5 nationally)
3. Madison (8 nationally)
4. Olivia --same
5. Isabella (2 nationally)
6. Addison (13 nationally)
7. Chloe (10 nationally)
8. Elizabeth (11 nationally)
9. Abigail (7 nationally)
10. Anna --#38 nationally

For boys, there were a few differences. It looks like we have more 'traditional' names in the top ten, including James and John, also Jackson.

1. William (3 nationally)
2. Mason --same
3. James --#17 nationally
4. Jacob (1 nationally)
5. John --#27 nationally
6. Noah (5 nationally)
7. Jayden (4 nationally)
8. Elijah (13 nationally)
9. Jackson --#23 nationally
10. Aiden (9 nationally)

Texas top 10:

1. Jacob & Sophie
2. Jayden & Isabella
3. Daniel & Emma
4. Jose & Mia
5. David & Emily
6. Ethan & Abigail
7. Noah & Olivia
8. Aiden & Ava
9. Angel & Camila
10. Christopher & Sofia

Camila is #48 nationally
Amelia #30 nationally, drops down to #82
Axel #132 nationally is #65
Santiago #131 nationally is #51, but I'm not really surprised by the latin influences in our list.

Apparently it is (http://www.behindthename.com/name/alivia). I consider them two different names personally just because they sound different IMO. Alivia = ah-liv-ee-ah and Olivia = oh-liv-ee-ah.
