I downloaded it recently to dig for names that start with vowels. I wound up loading it in a SQLite database.
Nice work with the decade filter. I feel your pain with that one. I wound up dumping all the years from when "Nevaeh" spiked onward as a quick and dirty clean. This also cleared out the flood of -aidens and some awkward recent trends.
After all that, my wife hated every name I suggested from my efforts :) Still a lot of fun to play with the data and watch how the trends change. Like you can find when "Ashley" declines as a male name and rises as a female name.
