I know that the top 1000 Social Security names are released every May for the previous year, but does anyone know when in May that list usually comes out? I'm having a baby in late May/ early June, and I'm going to be so angry if the names we picked have made it onto the list. I want to see it now!!!

ETA: I'm glad you all like the names or think I shouldn't worry, but if anyone knows the answer to my question I'd be very grateful :-)

Uh no idea of the exact date, think it tends to vary.

I tend to err toward uncommon names myself so totally understand. Even so us 'name-nerds' overanalyse these things a bit. Names usually have to be in the top 50-100 before you start noticing them as a trend IRL. Top 30 for there to be others in their class with the same name. Even then there is a lot greater variety of names being used and the top names aren't as common place as they used to be.

A name isn't going to make a massive leap in just one year, particually if it's not in the top 1000 to start with, so last year's list should still be pretty accurate.
