Parents Sticking To Familiar Baby Names

NEW YORK (AP) ― Parents aren't branching out much when it comes to baby names.

According to a list released today by the Social Security Administration, Emily is again at the top the list of most popular baby girl names for last year. It's the 12th straight time the name has registered at number 1. Jacob led among names for boys for the ninth year in a row.

Only one name-Elizabeth-is new to the top-10 list.

Besides Jacob, other top picks for boys were Michael, Joshua and Matthew.

For girls, Isabella, Emma and Ava came after Emily.

Rounding out the top 10 for girls, in order, were Madison, Sophia, Olivia, Abigail, Hannah and Elizabeth.

The rest of the top 10 for boys are Ethan, Daniel, Christopher, Anthony, William and Andrew.
