O’FALLON— A name says something about a person – noble, kind, charitable, or simply derived from another name. Below are the top baby boy and baby girl names for deliveries at HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in 2021. They are:
Boys:

These names for bundles of joy were part of the 1024 babies that were delivered by HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Women and Infants Center in 2021.
