Top 10 Baby Names Announced

Posted May 12th 2008 3:07PM by Ada Calhoun

The totally addictive Social Security baby names website has just announced the top names of 2007. Here they are:

GIRLS
1. Emily
2. Isabella
3. Emma
4. Ava
5. Madison
6. Sophia
7. Olivia
8. Abigail
9. Hannnah
10. Elizabeth

BOYS
1. Jacob
2. Michael
3. Ethan
4. Joshua
5. Daniel
6. Christopher
7. Anthony
8. William
9. Matthew
10. Andrew

All the boys names seem pretty predictable, but we're sort of shocked that Isabella, Ava and Abigail have trounced Mary, which ranked 93rd. Ada was #646, and we're pretty sure only in the top 1,000 because of Cold Mountain. Check the SS site and find out where your named ranked last year.
