Top Baby Names: Did your baby make the list?

Finding a name for your baby isn’t easy.  You want to pick something that you really love and something that as your child grows up they won't hate!  It's a very personal decision, but of course everyone from your third aunt to the guy that bags your groceries will have an opinion.  For new parents, looking at lists can help with the process.  There are lots of lists online that claim to know the most popular baby names for the year.  Since the year isn’t even over yet I’m not sure how they come up with these lists.  The most accurate list out there is of course the one published by the Social Security Administration.  As they hand out social security numbers, they keep data on this type of information.  Every year they publish this information on their website: http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames.  You can look up the most popular names by birth year and it even breaks it down by decade and state.   So did your baby make the list?  Below are the 2015 most popular names nationally and in the state of Idaho.
