William’s the winner for four years running, but Tennessee parents of new baby girls put Isabella at the top of the list as the most popular names for children born in 2010.

While the most popular names for baby girls born in Tennessee remained largely unchanged from the previous year, the list of top names chosen for boys born in 2010 includes two newcomers.

William has been the top choice for boys’ names in Tennessee since 2007.

Isabella rose up the ranks from the third spot in 2009, replacing last year’s top choice of Emma for girls’ names.

Sophia is a new addition to the most popular girls’ names for 2010, with Emily getting bumped from the top ten list.

There are two newcomers in the top ten names for boys: Jayden and Christopher. Joshua and Michael were both included in the top ten list for 2009, but dropped from the list in 2010.

Provisional birth data for 2010 also show the average age of Tennessee women giving birth last year as 26.6 years.

Nearly 59 percent of women who had babies in Tennessee in 2010 had previously had a child, and 41 percent were first-time mothers.

The vast majority of Tennessee births, 98.9 percent, took place in a hospital.
