A state by state list of the top baby names of 2011

Whenever a celebrity has a new baby the two big things everyone looks for is a photo and the name. I’ve always found the process of choosing a name for new little ones fascinating. Some couples pour over the thought forever while some moms and dads take around 5 minutes to make the decision.

Thanks to the folks from iVillage we have a breakdown of the most popular boys and girls name for all 50 states. Check it out! I think I see a little pop culture influence on a boy name and girl name that continues to show up.
