The most popular boy's name was: NOAH

However, if you add Jack and Jackson together, it's by far the most popular (17 babies named Jack or Jackson vs. 12 named Noah.)

The most popular girl's name was: JULIA

Mia & Maya are different names..

mee-uh and my-uh

I'd also say that Sara & Sarah are different names, but that's just to my british ears.

Mia is pronounced 'MY-ah' where I live. Sara and Sarah are also the same name here.

Really?
That's so odd, I've never ever heard of them as the same.

Most Mia's I know are short for Amelia, but I know it's a pretty popular stand alone name now- especially in Australia.

My Windsorite friend (oddly enough, the same woman who had Nicolas) named her daughter Mia and they pronounce it mee-uh.

I guess I've just been pronouncing it wrong all this time! Ah well, live and learn. :P

Where I live (western U.S.) Mia and Maya are also different. But Sara and Sarah are the same.

You know what, it is possible that I and the few other people I've heard pronouncing 'Mia' have just been pronouncing it wrong. I wouldn't be surprised.
