Sometimes you're just sitting alone at work and you have random thoughts pop into your head, like how do snakes sneeze or maybe something like what are the most common names in your state.

As interesting as the sneezing snake article would be to write, I think I'll save that for another day.

I have a list of both boy and girl names and decided to give the top 20 from each. Thanks to the help of Names.Mongababy.com.

Boys names:

  1. Jacob
  2. Ethan
  3. Tyler
  4. Michael
  5. Joseph
  6. James
  7. Connor
  8. David
  9. Joshua
  10. Caleb
  11. Alexander
  12. Hunter
  13. Wyatt
  14. Dylan
  15. Austin
  16. Noah
  17. Aiden
  18. Evan
  19. Gabriel
  20. Gavin

Girl Names:

  1. Maddison
  2. Emma
  3. Hailey
  4. Hannah
  5. Olivia
  6. Abigail
  7. Emily
  8. Sarah
  9. Mackenzie
  10. Samantha
  11. Sydney
  12. Ava
  13. Grace
  14. Taylor
  15. Alexis
  16. Kaylee
  17. Savanah
  18. Shelby
  19. Elizabeth
  20. Chloe

To be honest I know quite a few people from both lists with those names. So I suppose that's why the ended up being the most common. Happily my name did not make the list so hopefully, that makes me a little more unique... Doubtful though.
