How to find the popularity of names locally?

I hear you guys talking about this but is there a site you can go to?

The social security name list has a filter for state breakdowns. 

You can also use the baby name wizard, but I feel the SS site is more accurate.

I've gone to a couple places. 

1. The social security website for names. It only has 2008 but it breaks them down by state. I hear 2009 will be out Mother's Day.   https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ or https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/namesbystate.html

2. Local hospital websites that have the babies on them. You really get a good idea of the baby names people in your town are choosing by watching those and they're updated as the babies are born so it's almost a real time view.
