Few Baby Katrinas

A couple of decades ago, the name Katrina was regularly among the 100 most popular in the United States. Not any more. The Associated Press reports that new Social Security Administration data show that only about 850 baby girls were named Katrina last year. It now ranks at number 382 among girls' names, its lowest point since the 1950s. Of course, the name had already slipped to 247th by 2005, even before Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.

In case you're wondering, Emily and Jacob continue to lead the list of most popular girls' and boys' names, like they have since forever.
