Sophia and Jayden top New York baby names

The New York City Health Department has released their list of the most popular names in NYC in 2009 with Sophia and Jayden topping the list.
What is unique about the New York City list is that outside of the most popular girls and boys names, the city also broke the top names down by ethnicity which proved to be interesting as well.
Even more unique is the fact that the top boys name in the city is actually the top name for the subcategories of black and Hispanic boys’ names as well.
Sophia the made the top of both the white and Asian lists as well, but only took first place in the Asian category while it dropped to third place in the subcategory of white girls names topped by Olivia, Esther, and Sarah. Madison topped the list of black girls’ names (6th overall) and Ashley (7th overall) topped the list of Hispanic names.
For boys the list remained largely unchanged from last year with Daniel (2nd overall) topping the list for white boys and Ryan (tied for 10th overall) topping the list for Asian boys. Thus, it seems that while girls’ names got a bit more creative, parents stuck to their familiar favourites for the family namesakes.
