Want to know one of the things I love about January 2nd? Being able to scan the January 1st headlines for news of all the New Year’s babies. :)
Here are some of the first babies born in 2007 (in their respective regions)…
- Northern New Jersey: Keira (girl)
- Central Florida: Jodalisse (girl)
- Southwest Florida: Hailey (girl)
- Cincinnati, Ohio: Yomna (girl)
- Des Moines, Iowa: Denver (boy; named for the Denver Broncos football team)
- Springfield, Missouri: Ailee (girl)
- Tulsa, Oklahoma: Blair (girl)
- Boise, Idaho: Erin (girl)
- SF Bay area: Liam (boy)
- Portland, OR area: Anthony (boy)
Do you know the name of the first baby born in your region? Please leave a comment if you do–I’d love to know.
(I’m still waiting for the Cape Cod Times to publish something about the first Cape baby… I hope they don’t forget…)
Edit: They didn’t! The first Cape baby was a boy named Nicholas, born at 9:54 in the morning.

I see you got a name from our area (Portland). I wonder if Denver’s middle name is “Broncos”
Hehe…I think the Des Moines Register said that Denver’s middle name is James, which is probably a better choice. :)
I don’t know what time your other Idaho baby was born, but I had mine at 12:14AM on the first of January, and his name is Christopher.
Forgot to mention, I’m at Mountain Home Air Force Base, just 50 miles SE of Boise.
Congrats, Jenngrrett!
I went back and looked up baby Erin, and it seems that she was born at 12:20 a.m. at St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center in Boise (according to the Idaho Statesman).
So it would seem that your baby *did* beat baby Erin, but I’m guessing 50 miles wasn’t close enough for them to see that as the first in the Boise area.
