Addison for Governor in 2052

By: Mr. Wilson on May 21, 2008
Last year in Nebraska 158 girls were named Addison. Addison? I don't think I have ever met or known an Addison, yet here it is, the most popular name for baby girls in 2007. Once again pop culture passes me by. Ava was the only other name on the top 10 lists that surprised me. I'm familiar with all of the others, especially on the boys side. Any surprises for you? Any guesses on which names will be up-and-comers, and which will drop in the near future? I'll give you a hint: Brent is dropping quickly, having now fallen out of the top 500. Sadie (my wife's name), on the other hand, is about to crack into the top 100. I could see that one taking off.

Sarah isn’t nearly as popular as it was back in the day.  When I find myself in a room full of people my own age (early 30s), you can bet about half of them will be named Jen, while the rest will be split among Sara(h)s and Katies.

Sadie is one of my favorite names ever.  Every Sadie I’ve known is fun, smart, and sassy.
