Morgain,
you need to click here

choose the year you need data for (1990-2002) and pick whether you want male or female names.
Just for fun, the most popular names in Texas (starting with the most popular) in 2002 were:
Boys: Jose, Jacob, Joshua, Michael and Christopher
Girls: Emily, Maddison, Ashley, Alyssa and Alexis
