Some top baby names in New Jersey, 2013

According to New Jersey’s Asbury Park Press, “preliminary data from the state Department of Health has names like Michael and Matthew at the top of the 2013 list for boys, and Sophia and Isabella for girls.”

That preliminary data isn’t yet available at the NJ Department of Health website, but hopefully it will be soon.

According to the SSA, Sophia and Isabella ranked #1 and #2 for baby girls born in New Jersey in 2012. Michael and Matthew ranked #1 and #5.

Also from the source article, this interesting fact about baby names in New Jersey’s Monmouth County:

[R]oughly one-third of the top girls and boys names are Orthodox names, like Chana, Chaya, Esther, Rivka and Batsheva for the girls, and Moshe, Chaim and Yosef for the boys. The Monmouth list, in fact, varies markedly both from the statewide baby names, as well as the national list.

UPDATE, 12/8/2013: Just spotted a different article with the full New Jersey preliminary list. Here it is:

Girl NamesBoy Names
1. Isabella
2. Sophia
3. Emma
4. Olivia
5. Ava
6. Mia
7. Emily
8. Madison
9. Sofia
10. Abigail		1. Michael
2. Matthew
3. Jacob
4. Liam
5. Joseph
6. Anthony
7. Ryan
8. Daniel
9. Ethan
10. Mason

And another interesting fact, this time about the name Sandy:

One gender-neutral name that has trended in the past year, however, did not get the surge experts were predicting some nine months after the biggest storm in New Jersey history.

“We had no babies named Sandy in July and August, when we might have been expecting that,” Waters said.

UPDATE, 5/4/2015: The actual 2013 list, from an article about the finalized 2014 list.

Baby born in Wisconsin, named after Aaron Rodgers

Kristal Tyczkowski and Kyle Dryer of Wisconsin welcomed their third child, a baby boy, in mid-November.

The bad news is that the baby’s left collarbone broke during birth.

The good news is that the bone should heal within a few weeks.

The other good news is that the injury inspired a baby name. Kristal and Kyle decided to name their newborn Aaron Rodger Dryer after Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who fractured his left collarbone several weeks ago.

And, while were talking about Green Bay…did you know that Green Bay Packer kicker Mason Crosby made the baby name Mason trendy in Wisconsin long before the name was trendy nationally? In a news release last year, the SSA noted that “Mason has been a regular top-five name in Wisconsin for many years” thanks to Crosby.
