According to CBS News, the Social Security Administration has just released the list of the top baby names for 2011 and while Jacob is still #1 (13 years in a row!), Mason has skyrocketed up the list to #2. No doubt this is a result of the Kardashian phenomenon and Kourtney K naming her son Mason in late 2009. I don't like the name… wasn't a fan before she used it and now I like it even less but I know some people think it's cute.
Here are the top names:
1. Jacob
2. Mason
3. William
4. Jayden
5. Noah
6. Michael
7. Ethan
8. Alexander
9. Aiden
10. Daniel
GIRLS
1. Sophia
2. Isabella
3. Emma
4. Olivia
5. Ava
6. Emily
7. Abigail
8. Madison
9. Mia
10. Chloe
We are expecting a boy in August. Top of our list is Rocco but we haven't committed to it yet. I really like Niko too but he doesn't. Kyla's pick is Jake but it's too popular for me, I don't want him to be one of 3 Jakes in his class every year. One of the reasons I liked Kyla so much is because it was different, not too popular at all, but not "weird".
Just checked out this website that rates names… 76% of people named Rocco like the name so I think it's a good choice! What do you think?
