Georgia's Top 10 for Baby Names In 2014

The official list of the country’s most popular baby names of 2014 is out.

The Social Security Administration released its list of most popular baby names on Friday.

Again in 2014, Noah was the most popular name for boys in the country, but there was a change at the top for girls — Emma moved up from the No. 2 spot in 2013 to claim No. 1 in 2014.

In Georgia, William was the top boys name. Olivia topped the state list for girls. Noah and Emma were both third in Georgia.

Mason was No. 2 for boys names in Georgia, Ava was second for girls names.

Lots of organizations release lists of top names, but the Social Security Administration data is based on ”a 100% sample of our records on Social Security card applications as of the end of February 2015.”
