What’s in a name?

Your name is very important. When you think of yourself, you probably think of your name first. It is an
important part of your identity.

Right now, the two most popular names for babies in the United States are “Jacob” for boys and “Emily” for
girls. Why are these names popular? And why are some names unpopular?

Names can become popular because of famous actors, TV or book characters, or athletes. Popular names suggest
very positive things. Unpopular names suggest negative things. Surprisingly, people generally agree on the way they feel
about names. Here are some common opinions about names from a recent survey.

Boys’ names Girls’ names

George: average, boring Betty: old-fashioned, average
Jacob: creative, friendly Emily: Independent, adventurous
Michael: good-looking, athletic Jane: plain, ordinary
Stanley: nerdy, serious Nicole: beautiful, intelligent

So why do parents give their children unpopular names? The biggest reason is tradition. Many people are named
after a family member. Of course, opinions can change over time. A name that is unpopular might become popular in the
future. That’s good news for all the Georges and Bettys out there.
