In a story about popular baby names...

For the 10th year running, Emily is the most popular name for infant girls in the United States, according to figures being released this Mother's Day weekend from the Social Security Administration.

"The whole question was whether Emma was going to beat out Emily this time," said Cleveland Evans, a professor at Bellevue University in Nebraska and president of the American Names Society. Emma was No. 2 on the list.

(Emm and I figured emilytheslayer would be amused by that...)

Huh, I thought it had been the most popular for longer. I kind of hate that it's so popular, actually, there's too many Emilys out there!

I know what you mean. My RL name (which is not Emma, BTW) was very UN-popular when I was young, whihc was cool, but now there's zillions of liitle ankle-biters running around with *my* name.
Howvere, it has occurred to me that this is my own fault, for being so fabulous and inspiring. :-p
