Top Baby Names in Different States


The United States of America is a big country, with many different regions and cultural influences. I thought I'd take a look at the differences in popular baby names in different parts of the country. Here are the top 10 baby boy names from two different parts of the country.

Oregon Baby Boy Names, 2011
1. Mason
2. Liam
3. Logan
4. Jacob
5. Alexander
6. Samuel
7. Daniel
8. Jackson
9. Ethan
10. Noah

Mississippi Baby Boy Names, 2011
1. William
2. James
3. Jayden
4. John
5. Christopher
6. Elijah
7. Jacob
8. Mason
9. Joshua
10. Ethan

There are a few names that appear on both lists (Mason, Ethan, Jacob), but the rest are all different. In both lists, I see the trend of boy names that end in -n. If you want to look up your own state's most popular baby names, take a look at the Social Security website.
