What Names Do People Change The Most?

Ever think of changing your name?  You're not alone.  The Social Security Administration just shared a list of the 10 first names that are changed the most often by U.S. citizens.

According to WGN-TV, topping the list are two unusual names: 'Issac' and 'Chole' - believed to be typos for the names 'Isaac' and 'Chloe', which just so happen to be the two most-adopted first names. Other names on the list include Aiden, Conner, Elliot, Michael, James, Isabella, Sophia, and David. 'Michael' appears on both the most-changed and most-adopted list - while 'Conner' is among the most changed names, but 'Connor' is among the most adopted.
