My Girl’s Name is Now Number THREE Most-Popular
I never consulted a list of most-popular names before I picked out my daughter's...but shortly after she was born, I found out Emma was the number one girls' name for that year. Since then, the name has dropped a little further down the list, being replaced by Emily the following year. The top girls' name for 2011 is....Sophia?? Sounds strange, I know, but that's the latest, according to the list just released this morning. I pulled some of the info from an msn.com article I read earlier. Here are the top 10 for boys and girls...Is your child's name on the list?

1. Jacob
2. Mason

This is the thirteenth year in a row that Jacob has topped the boy's list. Sophia swapped places with Isabella this year to take the No. 1 spot.
The real fun in the baby names list, though, is in the trending list -- those names that are moving fastest up the popular list. Could Aria and Archer be the next Aiden or Ava? How about Nylah and Nico for a trendy sibling set? Here is the social security administration's list of top trenders:
