I said Sophia and Isabella might switch because, yes, there is a big gap, BUT Sophia went up by so many more babies (+3,600 more Sophias in 2010 than in 2009) that if it does it again, it would overtake Isabella.

Isabella had 22,731 and was +509
Sophia had 20,477 and was +3608 (it went up by 21%, which is pretty significant-- Zoe had a similar percentage and it went up like 50 places)

And if that were to repeat (not that it will), there'd be like 23,200 Isabellas and 24,000 Sophias. I think some people might be scared of Isabella now because of Twilight (like they like the name but are afraid people will think she's named after the book)

:S The number of Zooeys doubled from 2009 to 2010, so yeah, it could make the top 1000.
