Social Security Most Popular Baby Names (2009)
Choosing a name for your baby is an important decision as you prepare for the arrival of your newest family member. There are as many different perspectives about the choice as there are names to be considered. Some parents want to find a unique name that sets their child apart as an individual. Others value maintaining a family connection naming the baby after a relative or ancestor. Babies have been named after famous people and people who have touched the parent’s lives. No matter what the rationale behind a parent’s decision it is a personal one that most people take very seriously.
Getting a Social Security Number for your child is voluntary. Most people file for one right away for the tax benefits. Because of that, the information on naming trends is readily available. The Social Security Administration compiles information on the most popular baby names each year and publishes them on its web site. Here are the top ten names for boys and girls for 2009:
