The Social Security Administration recently released the 2014 results. Again in 2014, Noah was the most popular name for boys in the country, but there was a change at the top for girls -- Emma moved up from the No. 2 spot in 2013 to claim No. 1 in 2014.

In Connecticut, parents fell almost in line with the nation as Noah and Emma were both the No. 2 name choices in the state. In Connecticut, Mason was the No. 1 choice for boys and Olivia was No. 1 for girls.
Lots of organizations release lists of top names, but the Social Security Administration data are based on ”a 100% sample of our records on Social Security card applications as of the end of February 2015.”
