For the second year running, 'Mason' was the most popular name for Bluffton born baby boys. Of the over 200 names provided to the Icon by the Bluffton Hospital OB Department, 'Mason' appeared four times, more than any other name, boy or girl.

For the rest of the boys, the following names appeared more than once:
Abram  Aidan  Asher  Carter  Connor  James
Jase  Jaxson/Jaxon  Joel  Kaleb  Landon  Levi  Logan/Login  Oliver 
Ryker  Samual  Thomas  William  Wyatt

For girls, there was no clear front runner among the first names. 'Savannah'  appeared on our list three times.  The names that appeared twice were:
Adelynn   Arianna   Aubrey   Brailyn/Braelyne   Bristol  Caroline   Ella   Jada/Jayda

Clearly most popular among middle names for girls is 'Marie/Maria'. The boys favored 'Michael' most for second names.

Last year, the most popular girl's name at Bluffton Hospital was 'Ella' and the most popular boys name was one among many that started with the letter 'J'.   If you are interested in comparing this year's list with 2011's and beyond, click here.
