What are the most popular baby names in Georgia? New girls name climbs to the top in 2024
On average, about 10,000 babies are born in America every day, according to data from the CDC. That equates to millions of people every year wondering "What should be the baby's name?" The Social Security Administration releases annual lists of the 1,000 most popular names in each state and across the U.S. Is your baby's name trendy or a trend setter? Liam Noah James William Oliver Charlotte Olivia Amelia Emma Ava Liam was the top boy name in 2023 and 2020 and has been among the top 5 since 2018. Noah and William have been among the top 3 since 2015. One name that's jumped in and out of the top 5 over the last decade or so is Elijah. Charlotte has been slowly growing in popularity, claiming the No. 2 spot in 2023 and having been in the top 5 since 2019. Olivia was the longtime queen, sitting at the tippy top from 2021 to 2023. One name that's jumped in and out of the top 5 over the last decade or so is Isabella. According to the Bump, Liam is an Irish name meaning "strong-willed warrior." It's a diminutive of the British name William, meaning "helmet of will" or "protection." The Bump says Charlotte has French and Roman origins, standing as a feminine variation of Charles which means "free man." Historically, it has been a name evoking nobility and the freedom of creative expression. Liam Noah Oliver Theodore James Olivia Emma Amelia Charlotte Mia Liam is not only Georgia's most popular boy name, it has been the most popular name in America since 2017.

Preparatory work begins ahead of mass grave excavation at mother and baby home
Pre-excavation work on the site of a notorious former mother and baby home in Tuam in Co Galway has begun. The preparatory phase, which will last around four weeks, comes ahead of the full-scale excavation of the site to try to identify the remains of infants who died at the home between 1925 and 1961. In 2014, research led by local historian Catherine Corless indicated that 796 babies and young children were buried in a sewage system at the Co Galway institution across that time period. The St Mary's home for unmarried mothers and their children was run by the Bon Secours Sisters, a religious order of Catholic nuns. In 2021, Irish premier Micheal Martin delivered an apology on behalf of the state for the treatment of women and children who were housed in mother and baby homes across Ireland. The Bon Secours Sisters also offered a 'profound apology' after acknowledging the order had 'failed to protect the inherent dignity' of women and children in the Tuam home. The work at the burial site, which is being undertaken by the Office of the Director of Authorised Intervention, Tuam (ODAIT), will involve exhumation, analysis, identification if possible, and re-interment of the remains at the site. The pre-excavation work includes the installation of a 2.4-metre hoarding around the perimeter. The site will now be subject to security monitoring on a 24-hour basis to ensure the forensic integrity of the site during the excavation. The excavation is anticipated to last two years. Ahead of the preparatory work, Daniel MacSweeney, who leads the ODAIT, described the planned excavation as 'unique and incredibly complex'. One of Mr MacSweeney's main responsibilities will be to ensure any remains that are uncovered are re-interred in a respectful and appropriate way.

Dads can get paid time for Father's Day
With Father's Day just around the corner, DECKED is launching something special: the Dad Time Off (DTO) campaign. It's a chance for working dads across the U.S. to take a day off, on the house, and create some much-needed memories with their kids. Here's how it works: anyone can nominate a dad (or dads) who deserves a break from the grind. DECKED will select 100 lucky dads and reimburse a day's worth of lost wages, giving them a guilt-free opportunity to spend time with family. This campaign comes with eye-opening data from a survey of over 1,000 dads. The results? Many fathers are struggling to balance work and family life. A few key findings: 65% of dads have missed important moments with their kids due to work commitments. 43% feel financial stress when taking time off. 60% agree that more PTO or flexible hours would make it easier for their kids to be present. DECKED is stepping up to help dads reclaim their time this Father's Day. Nominate a dad today! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
