Mason is a simple name that is becoming increasingly popular. It comes from the English last name referring to a man who works with stone. American parents, always on the look out for a simple-sounding, yet relatively unique name for their newborns, are embracing the name in larger numbers, although it is unclear whether the name is popular because of its uniqueness, and if parents who choose that name will continue doing so if it becomes even more popular, and then, too popular...
2010 Update:
A huge leap for the name which is now at number 12. It still doesn't change the prediction that once the name becomes more popular it will become too popular, but that doesn't mean the name has finished its rise.
