Next time you see a cute baby in a stroller, don't be surprised if its name is Noah or Sophia.

Those were the most common names given to newborn boys and girls, respectively, in Hawai'i in 2007, the Social Security Administration said yesterday.

The agency last week released its list of the nation's most popular baby names in 2007. Jacob and Emily topped that list.

In 2002, the most common baby names in Hawai'i were Joshua and Kayla.

The Social Security Administration has compiled baby name lists since 1997. The administration's Web site has a list of the 1,000 most popular boys' and girls' names for 2007 and a list of the top 100 names for twins born in 2007. Jacob and Joshua are the most popular twins' names.

Lists of baby names for each year since 1880 can also be found at www.socialsecurity.gov.
