Where Do the Top 100 Names for Girls Come From?
Let’s begin with a little background on the top 100 baby names. When a baby is born in the United States, the parents or hospital where the baby was born send paperwork to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA is a governmental agency of the United States and is responsible for keeping track of every American citizen and issuing each person a social security number. Since the SSA issues social security numbers, they also keep a database of every person born in the United States. The top 100 baby names are compiled from these records.
