If you're an expecting parent, you probably already know that the process of choosing the perfect name for your baby is quite a feat, from getting your partner on the same page to ensuring your little one won't share her name with countless classmates at school.
We can't help sway your partner's vote, but did you know that you can screen a name's popularity on the U.S. Social Security website? There are a few ways to go about your research: 1) You can see the top ten boys and girls names from the previous year, 2) search the most popular names by year (all the way back to 1879!), or 3) input a name to view its popularity over time. You can even view the most popular names by state or decade.
How does your baby's name (or your own name!) rank on the lists?
