Naming Conventions

Seventy or eighty or so years from now, you're going to be able to walk into a nursing home and shout "Emily! Jacob!" and half the people will turn around. That's right, the Social Security Administration has reported that once again, those two names were the most popular baby names in the United States. Emily has topped the girls' list since--I can hardly believe this--1996, and Jacob has headed the boys' side since 1999. C'mon people, it's time to spread the wealth a little. New to the top 10 this year: Isabella for the girls and William for the boys.
