Most popular boy names in the '00s in Wisconsin

Stacker compiled a list of the most popular baby names for boys in the 00s in Wisconsin using data from the Social Security Administration. Names are ranked by number of babies born in Wisconsin 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.
