    What was the most popular baby name in 1987?

    Question #49254. Asked by dadbubby.

    RogerW1nz

    		Why 1987? The year you were born? The Internet has much info about American popular names, but not Australian or other countries. For boys, Michael, Christopher and Matthew seem to be tops, while Jessica, Jennifer and Amanda led the girls in the 1980's.
    Look at: http://www.midcoasthealth.com/babyplace/mchn/resource.asp
    Hope that's a help!
