The most popular baby names of 2015 were released earlier this month. Now, we get to find out the most popular baby name in Illinois.

The breakout revealed some pretty interesting stuff according to the Huffington Post and Nameberry.

HuffPo says "Emma and Noah may be the most popular baby names in the U.S. as a whole, but in more than half the states, other names rule."

That's the truth when it comes to Illinois. The most popular baby name for girls wasn't Emma but Olivia.

Matter of fact, Emma was the most popular in every state bordering Illinois. Midwestern-ly speaking, Olivia was tops in Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan.
