Noah takes over Jacob as top baby boy name in US

Washington: After a 14-year reign, the name Jacob is no longer America's most popular baby boy's name.

In 2013, Jacob fell to third most popular boy's name behind Noah and Liam, ABC News reported.

With Noah usurping Jacob's place, 2013 marks the first time in more than 50 years that neither Michael nor Jacob took the top slot.

The two names have been so dominant that one or the other was been ranked as the top male baby name since 1960, according to the Social Security Administration.

For girls, Sophia is not quite as established. It's been most popular name for girls for merely three years. However, the name is so popular that a second spelling of the name, Sofia, is ranked as the 13th most popular name.
