Top names by state

From coast to coast, parents-to-be are tasked with giving their bundle of joy a moniker that will identify them for life. Yet, with so many names to choose from, many little rascals still end up with the same name!

The prospect of their unborn child sitting in a class with five other Jacobs has not stopped parents in Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia from making Jacob the number one name in those states.

Calling out to your little Isabella on the playground may make a flurry of cute little heads turn in response in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Rhode Island, where the name is number one on the charts.

With celebrities like George Foreman naming nearly all his children after himself, it makes you wonder if the popular name polls are weighed unfairly. But, there is no disputing that the heavyweight champion in the name game is William and Madison in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Before branding your child the next Tom, Dick, or Harry, you may want to take a look at this list of the top three names in each state. If you are still not convinced that your little one will blend into the school yard with their top name choice, you could always entertain the alternative: moving to another state.

I had a desire to start my own organization, but I did not earn enough of cash to do that. Thank goodness my friend suggested to utilize the credit loans. Thus I took the credit loan and made real my old dream.
