NameRank
Every name given to a US baby since 1880,
ranked year by year — straight from Social Security Administration birth records.
105,966 names ·
375,362,447 births · public domain.
* ≥5% of bearers are the minority sex
(3,194 names) ·
** ≥20%, genuinely unisex (3,590 names).
11,854 names appear under both sexes at some level, so presence
alone isn't meaningful — these flags use the minority sex's share of all bearers.
