Locally: Most Popular Baby Names in 2011
You may meet a lot of Sophias and Ethans in the Pasadena area over the next couple of years.
Whenever last year's 100 most popular baby names are released, I always check the list to see if my name, Cassandra, made the cut. It hasn't for well over a decade now, and I'm always relieved. My name has never been very popular, and I like it that way.
In 2011, the most popular names on U.S. birth certificates were Sophia and Jacob, according to The U.S. Department of Social Security. Those names are followed by Isabella, Emma, Olivia, Ava, Emily, Abigail, Madison, Mia and Chloe for girls; for boys are Mason, William, Jayden, Noah, Michael, Ethan, Alexander, Aiden, and Daniel.
