When applying for a social security card for their new born, the parents must give a name. Social Security compiles that information and makes it available to the public through their website.

 

According to Jack Myers, for the fourth year in a row "Noah" is the most popular name for boys across the country and "Emma" has topped the list for girl names for the third year running.

 

 

Pop culture will always have a big impact on baby name trends, adds Myers. For instance, the name Kylo for boys tore through the list this past year due to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. If you're expecting a child, this is a great and free source to utilize.
