The Social Security website has not yet updated its data for the top baby names in 2009, but some websites are speculating on the results. They don’t agree with one another, so I am skeptical about any of them being correct. However, it is fun to see the suggestions, so let’s take a look. What will be the Top Ten baby names for 2009?

Here are the top baby names for 2009 according BabyFirstYear. As a Gilmore Girls fan, I love numbers 5 and 7 for the baby girls’ names, but I am skeptical that this is an accurate list based upon the trends I have followed over the past few years.
