Re: Why are some names submitted several times but deleted several times?

Yes, indeed. In some states I used to get data from, "Baby" would look like it would be on the top 50 list of names for newborns because of certificates being issued before the child was named. And in at least one state "Expired" turned up on the baby name list because that's what was written on the certificates of unnamed stillborn infants.
