There's also an online video of Chubby Checker counting down the most popular names of the past decade. Chubby also has information about a law that may help an older relative or neighbor get an average of almost $4,000 of extra help with Medicare prescription drug costs.

The Social Security's website also has a list of the 1,000 most popular boys' and girls' names for 2009 and a list of the top 100 names for twins born in 2009.
