What’s In A Name? Social Security Can Tell You Steve Beck Manager, Canarsie Office What’s in a name? Is your name or your child’s name a popular one, or an unusual one? And how does the popularity of American names change over time? By visiting our Web site at www.so-cialsecurity.gov and going to the “Baby Names” webspage, you can find ans-wers to these and many other questions. For example, Jacob and Emily continue to reign as the most popular baby names in the United States, based on Social Security card applications for children born in 2004. The rest of the top 10 boys and girls names for 2004 are: Of course, many middle-aged parents or relatives might wonder why they never knew many Jacobs or Emilys when they were growing up. If you do just a little research on our webiste, you would find the reason why. In 1970, for example, Jacob was number 255 on the popularity charts, and Emily was only slightly more popular at 173. What else can you find at this webpage? Well, it also lists the 1,000 most popular baby names for 2004, as well as the most popular names in each state and the most popular names for twins. You can also find information for babies, children and parents on the Social Security website, as well as links to other government Web sites that offer valuable information about pregnancy, caring for newborns and programs and services for families. For example, you’ll find information on “enumeration of birth,” the easiest way to obtain a Social Security number for a baby. This automatic, free service allows parents to apply for a Social Security card at the same time they fill out the birth certificate information at the hospital. Whether you are choosing a popular baby name or applying for retirement, there’s something for everyone at www.socialsecurity.gov.
