In honor of Father’s Day, the Social Security Administration offers results of the most popular baby names in Ohio for 2009.
Earlier in May, the federal government’s top official for baby names, Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, announced the nation’s most popular baby names.
How does Ohio compare to the rest of the country? Seems we fall right in line with popular thinking. Jacob and Isabella topped the list both nationally and in the Buckeye State as well.
Visit www.socialsecurity.gov to see the top baby names for 2009. The top five boys and girls names for 2009 in Ohio were Jacob, Noah, Ethan, Logan and William for boys. For girls, the top names were Isabella, Emma, Olivia, Ava and Madison.
In addition to each state’s top 100 baby names, Social Security’s website has a list of the 1,000 most popular boys and girls names for 2009 and a list of the top 100 names for twins born in 2009. The website also offers lists of baby names for each year since 1880.
