If you're invited to a wedding in Virginia in a few decades, don't be surprised if the groom is named William and the bride Sophia.
Those two names top the list of the most popular names for babies born in Virginia in 2011, the Social Security Administration announced today. Overall, the top five boys names (in order) were William, Jacob, Mason, Noah and Ethan. For girls, the most popular names were Sophia, Emma, Olivia, Isabella and Abigail. Earlier this week the federal government’s top official for baby names, Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, announced that Sophia and Jacob were the most popular baby names in the U.S. To view the top baby names in 2011, visit the Social Security’s website – http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames. In addition to each state’s top 100 baby names, the website also features a list of the 1,000 most popular boys’ and girls’ names for 2011 and a list of the top 50 names for twins born in 2011. The website also offers lists of baby names for each year since 1880. |
