Topic Reading-Vol.772-5/23/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The most popular baby names are ...
Let’s get straight to the point. Noah for boys and Sophia for girls are the most popular baby names registered in 2013, according to the US Social Security Administration. Those baby names are submitted when their parents apply for Social Security numbers not so long after those babies are born.
As you might notice in the top ten list below, traditional or familiar names you might have seen or heard in your textbooks or books aren’t the majority in the top 10 list anymore. Of course. It is because the names of your friends were given when they were born decades ago by their parents who were born another a few decades ago. Unlike the royal family of the Britain, American parents seem to be more affected by movies, TV drams, games or other icons these days than before. They tend to avoid traditional or extreme names like George or Mary. Instead, they seem to prefer more popular, friendly names with some touch of originality, like So”f”ia, which ranked 13 in the list.
Enjoy reading and learning how parents are influenced by the trend, culture and tradition.
