Map: Six Decades of the Most Popular Names for Boys, State-by-StateSEXPAND
As a companion to "Six Decades of the Most Popular Names for Girls," the map above shows the most popular names for boys, by state, from 1960 to 2012. Once again, names that are the most popular nationwide for that year are colored, and all data come from the Social Security Administration. One note: For space reasons I shortened "Christopher" to "Chris," all other names are as they appear in the SSA rolls.
