For five years now, one baby name for boys has dominated over all others in the delivery rooms of the city: Jayden.
Sophia, meanwhile, was the top name for baby girls for a second year in a row.
In all, there were 740 Jaydens and more than 630 Sophias born among the 120,457 babies delivered in the city in 2013, health officials announced Monday.
Jayden was most popular with Hispanics and Asian and Pacific Islander families.
