Most popular baby names by state, 1910-2015

I’ve always found the “series” names fascinating for what gets left out. The spring & summer months but nobody named March who came in like a lion. Flowers but no Kudzu, The Virtues but no baby named Diligence. Animals seem out in the US, I had a grandfather named Wolf. Bear and Lion are common Israelis names. Lets not forget Mowgli the Frog. How about metals? Little baby Iron?

Gotta say, we played it safe with our 2 children, those born in the 60’s remember kids getting teased for odd names. At least in urban areas that’s now an obsolete sin. Kids are still kids but in our diverse K-8 NO ONE got teased for their crazy names whether they were Ebonic or Uzbeki. It was astonishing.
