The Social Security Administration has released its annual bundle of joy (or frustration, depending on your preference for uniqueness) of each state's top baby names for both boys and girls in 2018.
Nationally, the most popular name for boys is Liam and Emma for girls, which is in line with what the administration reports as favored names in the Tri-State. The administration pulled the data from Social Security card applications as of March 2019 and here's what they found:
