Gaige makes list of 1000 top baby names for 3rd year


In a search to find out the popularity of the variations on the name Eric (Erik, Erick) during a discussion with a friend, I happened upon the Social Security Administration's official Baby Name site.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.... since when does the SSA need an official baby name site. Your tax dollars at work.

At any rate, for grins, I popped "Gaige" in there just so that I could see that it wasn't on the list, and was completely shocked when I found that it has been on the list for 3 years now. Starting in 2000, the name was 885th of 1000 top names for newborns. Popularity has declined since then, but it looks like my dad, grandfather, and I will have some company on the net in another decade or two.
