To the surprise of nobody here:
That Viral List of Top Baby Names Is BS
Some interesting points that aren't mentioned, either by Slate or BabyCenter:
- How do they gather their list of names - is it based on birth announcements submitted anonymously or do they have some kind of focus group?
- Is this list limited to the US?
