i have many thoughts on this, but primarily...
noah is number two and rising? thats sad. that was our top boys name. also, i was surprised to see amelia/emilia at number one for girls. no idea it had shot up so quickly. the husband and i had amelia on our list too. bummer.

ETA: this is the babynames.com list, not the SSA list
