Connecticut
in reply to a message by Lily
Haha, I'm not terribly surprised with Connecticut (my home state) I was telling people Italian(-American) names seemed to be popping up everywhere recently, especially for girls) so I wasn't surprised with:(national rank in parentheses)
Gianna - 10 (63)
Gabriella - 13 (34)
Arianna - 34 (52)
Ariana - 55 (84)
Adrianna - 74 (177)
Juliana - 81 (147)
Julianna - 83 (179)Giovanni ranked 90 (117)
Antonio ranked 100 (118)
(I realize some of these are used as Hispanic names as well)Irish names are more on a surge with boys with Patrick and Declan making the top 100 along with the typical Aidan, Sean, etc.Basically the top ten is just a rearrangement of the nation's though using more traditional names: Alexander - Sophia
Michael - Isabella
Mason - Olivia
Ryan - Ava
Jacob - Emma
William - Madison
Joseph - Mia
Anthony - Emily
Matthew - Abigail
Jayden - Gianna
Love seeing Nora there at 80 (137) and Aria at 97 (157)

Massachusetts - Maeve 587 to 93?! +traditional namesNot actually surprising that it's somewhat popular in the very Irish state but ranked 93 compared to 587 nationally? Craziest I've seen.Massachusetts seems to hold a lot of traditional class with Eleanor, Margaret, Theodore, Elise, Maxwell, all ranking in the top 100.
