What's in a name? The most popular names at GW
GW's list slightly resembles the list from the Social Security Administration, which announces the most popular baby names each year. In 2007, Jacob defeated Michael for first, while Matthew came in fourth and Daniel came in eighth. Jessica, GW's third most common female name, earned sixteenth place in the United States. Sarah, GW's most common female name, came in tenth nationwide. Emily was the most common female name in the United States, while it ranks eleventh at GW. On the opposite side of the spectrum, 2,154 undergraduates do not share their name with anyone on campus. For instance, only one student shares her name with Martha, George Washington's wife. As for George, 18 lucky undergraduates share their name with GW's founder. Nationwide, the name George captures the 137th spot.

"The reason I wanted to do that is we already have a weird last name," she said, adding, "I wanted to have a simple name that he could spell." Easier, probably, than another name given to a baby born in Victoria last year - Octavian Augustus. .

We suggest that Hollywood couples like Brangelina, TomKat and Jlo and "What's His Name" should consider some "green" names for their future offspring (or small country in the case of Brangelina). Here are some of our favorites from www.thinkbabynames.com Berilo… "pale green genstone" Denver… "green valley" Greenwood… "green wood" (duh) Hewney….
