I just got the total name list from the state of Nebraska for 2007. This is the first time since 2003 they've been able to send this to me.

Here are the top 25 names for boys and girls, from the raw data. In other words, spellings are NOT combined. I will be combining the spellings by hand this weekend, and I suspect that Aiden will end up as #1 when all its various spellings are added together. But I thought I would put up this data as soon as I got it so we can see how well Nebraska predicts the whole USA when SSA releases its national figures soon.
