We know what the top names in the country were last year, but what about the top names in each state? Here’s the list, released just yesterday by the SSA. I’ve also included each state’s most popular unique names (i.e., names that only appeared in the data for that particular state).

A few final thoughts…
I love that Aurora is now #1 in Alaska. :)
What’s up with Wilma in Ohio? Nine baby girls is nearly a quarter (23%) of the total national usage. Interesting.
One of the other unique Utah boy names was Kaladin , which comes from a character in the Stormlight Archive book series by Utah-based fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson.

(“Hayle,” for instance — would you say it like Hale , or like Hailey ? Or “Rise” — is it rize ree-sah
Many of these names also happen to be unisex, so they appear on the one-syllable boy names list as well.
