General Name Discussion

Found an article in the paper that had the top baby names in Nebraska. It only listed the Top Ten, but it had a website that had the Top 25. It is part of the Omaha World-Herald. I thought y’all might like this as we anxiously await the national 2009 results!

I’m shocked to see [name]Carter[/name] so far up the boys’ list and [name]Aidan[/name] so far down! I have a girlfriend who named one of her twin boys [name]Carter[/name] last year, but that was the first time I had heard the name (and I had my son not even a year before that!).

Thanks for posting - I love to see which names are most popular around the country!
