Most popular girl names in the 90s in Minnesota

Stacker compiled a list of the most popular baby names for girls in the 90s in Minnesota using data from the Social Security Administration. Names are ranked by number of babies born in Minnesota from 1990 to 1999.

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.
