A little bit of history
Social Security began compiling the baby names list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880.
“Social Security is here to help parents continue to provide for your families — by securing a Social Security number for your child, filing for benefits for yourself or your family members, and so much more,” Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley said. “We will never stop working for you.”
