Emma and Liam were the most frequently chosen baby names for 2017. For the fourth year in a row, Emma was the top girl’s name according to the annual list of the most popular baby names released by the Social Security Administration on Friday. The Social Security Administration releases the 1,000 most popular baby names each year. When it came to girls’ names, Emma was followed by Olivia, Ava, Isabella and Sophia. A lot of new parents “are using Hispanic names rather than trying to pick more Anglo-fied names,” Satran said.
