By sheer stroke of luck, I decided (moments ago) to check out the
Social Security Administration website to see if the 2011 updates were finally posted. Each May, the SSA releases the Top 1,000 baby names from the previous year. The exact day in May isn't scheduled (to my knowledge). I had somewhat patiently ignored the urge to check the SSA website on a daily basis for the past two weeks and instead decided that I would eventually catch wind through news outlets. But it's mid month and I hadn't yet heard anything, so I caved and checked the site myself. BAM. They are up and ironically
just went live. The Top 10 lists are below and of course I'll give you my full
two three cents after I've had time to paroose and digest the full list.
