BLOG: Baby Names
An interesting story in the New York Daily News has the most popular baby names in New York City in 2001. #1? Michael and Ashley. What I found most interesting was the top names for Latinos: for boys, Justin, Christopher and Kevin; for girls, Ashley, Jennifer and Destiny (I'm working off a table in the print edition, which has more detail than the link). I was really surprised that there wasn't a single traditional Latino name in the bunch (the same was true, although less surprising, for Asian & Pacific Islander babies).
