Jacob and Emily No. 1 again

The Social Security Administration today came out with its annual list of the most popular baby names. For boys, Jacob came out No. 1 again - the eighth straight year. That makes me feel proud. My dog's name is Jacob - Jake, actually - and my maternal grandfather also was named Jacob. Apparently the name was popular in Switzerland, where he was born, in the 1890s, too.
Interestingly, New Jersey parents did not climb aboard the Jacob bandwagon last year. The most popular names, in this order, were: Michael, Matthew and Daniel. Jacob ranked 14th.
Nationally, Emily has been the most popular girls name for 11 straight years. Last year, Emma was runnerup, followed by Madison, Isabella and Eva. In New Jersey, Isabella was No. 1, followed by Ava and Emily.
The SSA has a Popular Baby Names section on its Web site that allows you to search for the most popular baby names, by state, and by year since 1960.
