You don’t have to go over there to learn what baby names were most popular in 2009. Here are the Top Ten Baby Names for 2009:

Top 10 Boy Baby Names for 2009

Eight of the ten baby boy names were in the Top 10 in 2008. The newcomers into the Top 10 are Jayden and Noah. I will have to write about the baby boy name Noah because that is the only baby boy name in the Top 10 for 2009 that I have not previously covered.

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.
