Popular Baby Names By State, City ... and Hospital!

Posted by Madeline Holler

Mommy found a new way to waste her time! And she wants you to waste your time too!

Baby Namescape is an aggregator of popular baby names that shows the 10 most popular in your state, your city and -- get this -- the hospital where your baby may be (or have been) born!

Watch the hours drain from your day as you plug in the variables.

Feel the smug satisfaction that neither your boy OR girl names placed in the Top 10 of the popular city hospitals. (You must not be going with Jacob.)

You're a baby-branding ... uh, I mean naming ... genius as you outwit all other mothers in the tri-state area. Afterall, your daughter won't suffer the fate of a million grown-up Jennifers and Amys in school, in town, anywhere, ever.

So while the nation names its girls Ava and Madison, California calls her daughters Isabella or Emily, and at Lutheran Medical in Brooklyn, they're going with Ashley and Samantha.

So pre-admitted families of Danbury Hospital in Connecticut, are you sure about Sophia? And no, Abigail is not going to work out as a back-up plan.
