Top Names by State
12
Sun, 08-22-2004 - 6:27pm
I know the SS website lists the top 1000 names in the US, and the top 5 names by state...but can I get a state specific list beyond the top 5? I'd like to know where the name we're thinking of ranks just in our state, not nationwide...anyone know if this info is available?

Not a clue.. sorry. I can't even get the link to the top 5 to work on the SSA site. Have you tried googling for it?

I think the only way to get it would be through the SSA, and I don't know if they keep data on that or if they publish it. Most hospitals have web sites, though, and I know here in the Dallas area, they have all the babies listed born in each month by their first names. It lets me keep a handle on the trends happening around here. It's about a two week delay in posting. Maybe choose your nearest metro and search for hospitals there and see if theydo the same thing? It's not the whole state, but it should give a good idea.

I googled it and didn't find anything.

Houston is the closest Metro area, haven't found anything on hospital sites.

Would you mind sharing the link to the Dallas hospital? That's close enough, and better than nothing. :) Thanks!

go to www.growingfamily.com and click on visit web nursery. you can search according to zip code or state. then click on the hospital closest to you or look at all of them and it will list all babies names in that area.

hope this helps!

Thanks so much. I had been looking for something like this. I went to hospital sites for my state but couldn't fine any baby listings. This will be very valuable once I actually get pregnant.

Thanks again!
