Top Baby Names of 2011

This is the 13th year in a row Jacob tops the list for boys and the first year for Sophia, according to the Social Security Administration.

The Social Security Administration released their most popular baby name list of 2011 and it seems reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian has influenced the boys list with the name Mason.

Mason rocketed to number two from outside of the top 10 to replace Anthony on the boys’ side.

James and Mary top the SSAs list of names from the last 100 years.
