The Favorite Baby Names of Every State

When you look at a list of America’s top baby names, do you ever feel like something’s missing? If you’re from New Hampshire, you may wonder “where is Maeve?” Meanwhile Texans are thinking “but I meet so many babies named Sebastian,” and over in Alabama John is back in the picture. While top hits like Liam and OIivia can be found from coast to coast, there’s still plenty of local color to baby name tastes. Nine different girl’s names and eight boy’s names can claim the title of #1 in at least one state. Isla is the fitting girl’s champion of the Hawaiian isles, while Waylon tops the boy’s chart in West Virginia. And the name phenomenon of the year, Ailany, will not be denied: it captured the #1 spot in Maryland. See if you recognize the style of your home state.
