Re: SSA's 'Most Popular Baby Names by State' list has been released (m)
in reply to a message by queenv
Gabriella is #34 in the US and Gianna is #63. But Gianna being so much higher could have to do with that for sure. I would think similar things looking through the list for my state, like no Hispanic names. There were two for each gender towards the bottom whose popularity could've been helped out by being used by Hispanic people, but they're not specifically (Antonio and Maria). Antonio I know is commonly used by African-Americans too. That's what I like about the individual state lists, it's neat how you can see racial, cultural, and socio-economic groups that are most prevalent in the state. The national list is, obviously, much more generic.

Arrghh, how did I miss Gabriella and Gianna on the national top 100? This is when you start worrying about senility.
Eh, your eyes glaze over pretty quickly scrolling down those lists!
