Georgia's most popular baby names for 2014 (most current data) were Olivia for girls and William for boys. We asked readers to share their Olivias and Williams with us:

This is 6-month-old Olivia of Sugar Hill. “She loves to squeal to hear her voice,” mother Sara Bamberg says.

Meet 8-month-old Olivia of Clarkston. “Olivia loves all genres of music,” mother Maurita Jackson says.

Say hello to 14-month-old Olivia of Roswell. “She is the happiest baby you will ever meet!” mother Celena Bailey says.

This is 16-month-old Olivia of Douglasville. “She loves salsa dancing, reading, counting, and playing her maracas and recorder,” her mother says.

Meet 6-year-old Olivia of Covington. Mother Kelly Spink says, “She has a spunky little personality just like her Papa John (AJC photojournalist John Spink).”

Say hello to 6-year-old Olivia of Johns Creek. “Olivia is all girl,” says mother Jordan Firouzabadi. “She's super sassy and has jokes for days. Even though she loves all things pink, she loves the Braves (especially Freddie Freeman) and Auburn football.”

This is 8-year-old Olivia of Marietta. “Olivia is a free spirit, animal-lovin', sweet young lady!” mother Stacie Barrow says.

Meet 9-year-old Olivia of Winder. “She loves to do handstands. She's been practicing all summer,” says mother Jennifer Waldrop.

Say hello to 11-year-old Olivia of Vinings. “Olivia loves animals, and wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up,” mother Lauren Colley says.

This is 1-year-old Olivia of Euharlee. "Olivia is such a people-person, never meets a stranger," mother Valerie Weiss says. "She loves music and dances every time she hears a beat."

This is 15-year-old William and 19-year-old Olivia of East Cobb/Marietta. Mother Sabrina Hulse says, “We named our daughter Olivia in 1995, expecting it to be a unique name, not common … we had no idea how wrong we would be. William was named after his grandfather, with whom he shares a lot of the same characteristics and mannerisms.”

Say hello to 6-month-old William of Atlanta. “He loves music class. He is half German,” says mother Stephanie Kastner.

This is 5-year-old William of Villa Rica. "William loves Legos, superheroes and books. He has a great sense of humor, and enjoys telling people trivia facts about space and U.S. presidents," mother Evelyn Ortega says. "During his free time from school, he enjoys running and bothering his two older sisters for fun."
