Popular baby names way back when were commonly along the lines of John, Robert, Susan, Mary. Compared to what parents are naming children in the 21st century, these sound kind of old fashioned, unless you happen to be kind of old yourself. In any event, today's new parents are giving their children a whole different set of names these days. The information is compiled by the Social Security Administration (SSA) from Social Security Card applications. The lists here are the top 10 boy and girl names chosen by Nevada parents in 2010. To see the rest of the top 100, visit the Popular Baby Names web page. On this site you can also search name popularity in numerous ways - specific years (going back several decades), specific names, by state, for U.S. territories, for the whole country, and more.
