Is Your Name One of NY's Most Popular Baby Names?



NEW YORK -- Hit the road, Jack. The No. 1 name for boys is Michael.
   
The most popular names for the 122,725 babies born in the city last year were Michael and Emily. For Michael, top moniker among the 63,011 newborn boys, that's more than 20 consecutive years in first place.
   
Michael and Emily welcomed Rachel and Nicholas into the Top 10s for boys and girls, the health department, which keeps track of the data, said Wednesday. Emily was No. 1 for girls last year, too.
   
For the 59,714 baby girls, the top names were Emily, Ashley, Kayla, Sarah, Isabella, Samantha, Sophia, Nicole, Olivia and Rachel. Brianna was knocked out of the Top 10 for the first time since 1997.
   
For the boys, the list was Michael, Daniel, Joshua, David, Justin, Matthew, Anthony, Christopher, Joseph and Nicholas. Sorry, Ryan, you weren't so popular.
