In 2010 the name Judith (that's my given name) made the worst showing ever, ranking at 876. Things are looking up a bit -- but not much! -- because last year my name improved to 838 in all time popularity. Judith was actually ranked in the top ten for the years 1939 through 1945! No, I wasn't born during those years, but I was named after someone who was. The names Diamond, Harley, Mercedes, Krystal, Macy, Tiffany all ranked higher than Judith for the past 100 years. Really? I guess my mom wasn't much of a shopper.
In any case, the most popular baby names for 2011 have been tallied by the people over at Social Security. Here are the most popular names being given to newborns in Arizona.
