Maryland Baby Names: Which Ones Are Most Popular?

Baby names are a highly subjective thing. The names that were hot years ago are now out of fashion, unless, of course, they've come back into fashion. And the Social Security Administration has been keeping tabs on how names have cycled in and out of popularity for years! They've even narrowed it down by specific states, which means that we can see how different names have ranked and reigned by year. Here's a glimpse at the top five in Maryland in different years:
