baby-name-on-ankle-by-kaatjevervoort.jpg There are lots of fun ways to choose baby names.

I mean, you don’t want a name that’s too trendy or a name that your child will hate. Yet you want a fairly unique name, right?

Well, here’s another handy resource for you — one that I bet most people wouldn’t think of.

It’s the Social Security Administration!

 

Yep, the SSA keeps track of the most popular names each year, based on newly registered Social Security numbers. What a neat way to see which names were popular each year!

  • You can find the top 10 boys names and the top 10 girls names from the previous year.
     
  • You can also search for a specific name — to see it’s ranking.
     
  • Or search a specific year — to see what names were popular that year.

The database of names maintained by the Social Security Administration is a great way to see how certain names have become more or less popular over time.

Just for fun… look up the year you were born to see which names were the most popular back then! (My name was ranked #225 in the year I was born. Then, in 2004 it was ranked #999. After that, it never made the top 1000 names for any year.)

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money — so I write about “outside the box” ideas that most wouldn’t think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I’m truly passionate about. I’ve worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

About Us

AvatarI’m a new mom. I work from home and I write — mostly about my outdoor adventures, DIY projects, newly discovered products, and helpful tips as a first-time mom. I also like to share details about the alternative choices I’m exploring as I enjoy this journey called motherhood. My family includes a toddler, 2 stepchildren, 1 dog, 1 cat, and a wonderful husband. My pre-pregnancy life was full of freedom and adventure, so I have a fresh new perspective when it comes to walking away from a career to become a full time stay-at-home Mama.
