Top U.S. names for girls by letter of the alphabet
I was able to compile the following data thanks to Michael Clingman of the U.S. Social Security Administration, who provided me with the complete listings which aren’t found on the SSA website. These names represent the top 10 names for each year for each letter of the alphabet.The names for the years 1999 and 2000 were taken from a 100% sampling of children born in those years whose parents applied for a Social Security card for them.The names for the year 2001 is, of course, not complete, and represents only a sampling of children born between the months of January and August of this year. By the end of this year I hope to have the complete listing.The names are listed in order of popularity for each year, by letter of the alphabet.Please note: Any name included in these statistics represents a child whose parents were able to apply for a Social Security card on that child’s behalf. Proof of U.S. citizenship or legal alien status is required by the Social Security Administration.1999: Alexis, Ashley, Alyssa, Abigail, Amanda, Anna, Alexandra, Allison, Amber, Andrea

Woweee!I'm so gald you did this compilation of names! I'm very excited that the names I've picked for my future girls (Mabry,Fayla,and Breena) have not made it to the list. This ensures that I will have very unique names! At least, if they don't make on the list in the next 7 years.

Thank you! And just to......give Mike C more work to do and make a nuisance of myself, I'm gonna combine all three SSA names lists (1999/2000/2001) into a single list of alphabetized names (especially now that I've figured out how to weed out duplicates easily), maybe post the list here with the hyperlinks set, and see how many names aren't in Mike's database. So then Mike will know which names to start working on adding. :)-- Nanaea

Hi, this is my first time ever on this site, and I just want to say that this is really cool. I'm glad I came over here and saw this. I can't wait to have the time to actually go through looking at it more carefully.
