Popular Baby Names The bard said it best when he posed the question that plagues every expectant parent: What's in a name? Quite a bit, judging by the creativity (or lack thereof) displayed by American moms and dads. This site, from the Social Security Administration, isn't the cutest site on the block, but you'll find it's a great way to waste some time. Hit Ctrl+F, then type in a name and see where it ranks. Want to know the top 1000 names of the 1920s? They're here, along with name data for every decade from 1900 to the present. You'll also find a year-by-year breakdown of baby names from 1996 to 2001. So what was the most popular moniker in 2001? It wasn't Destiny, Princess, or even Unique, though they all cracked the top 1000. Take a fascinating look at the ever-changing world of identity.
