Emily’s 12-year reign is over. Emma was the top name among girls born in 2008, while Jacob was king for a 10th straight year, the Social Security Administration said Friday. Among newcomers to the top 1,000 girl names were Isla (623), Mareli (718) and Milagros (731). Debuting among the boys were Aaden (343), Chace (655) and Marley (764). Other notables: Elvis (down 40 spots to No. 713) and Barack (up a record 10,126 places to No. 2,409). But he won where it counted most.
