Most popular girl names in the '00s in Connecticut

Stacker compiled a list of the most popular baby names for girls in the 2000s in Connecticut using data from the Social Security Administration. Names are ranked by number of babies born in Connecticut from 2000 to 2009.

Note: The Social Security Administration collects data on baby names with a binary understanding of sex and gender. Stacker understands that names aren't inherently gendered and will continue to look for opportunities in our coverage to demonstrate that.
