Show HN: usBabyNames.js – historical data on US names 1880-2023
- runnr_az 2y agoBuilt on the Social Security Administration baby names files, usBabyNames.js returns interesting historical data on baby name usage from 1880-2023. With almost two million total entries packaged within a sqlite3 database, each record contains the following: * Name * Sex * Number of births that year * Rank for that year * Pronunciation * Notes about history and usage * Origin ... since it's built on the SSA data, it's 100% public domain data. Pretty interesting to chart and graph. Of course, suggestions as to how to improve it, totally welcome
