A few interesting facts about this new list...

Several different variations on the spelling of the name Caitlyn (Caitlin, Katelynn and Kaitlynn) all dropped off the top 1000 list.

The boys' name Elijah also landed on the list for the first time ever.

And if you think Emma is a cute new name, think again... Emma topped the list of names for newborn baby girls way back in 1880!
