- danso 11y agoHelp yourself! I find the baby name data a great scenario for teaching data...everyone has a name, everyone has assumptions and opinions about how popular and genderized their names are, and everyone is fascinated by how many/few other American babies share their name. The data is structurally simple -- 4 columns, 5 if you use the state-by-state version -- yet numbers in the hundreds of thousands of rows. Plus, even being so simple, it contains virtually all of the "dirtiness" of real world data.
