The US Social Security Administration provides yearly lists of names given to babies. These data combine the yearly lists.
BabyNames
is the raw data from the SSA. The case is a year-name-sex, for example: Jane F 1922. The count
is the number of children of that sex given that name in that year. Names assigned to fewer than five children of one sex in any year are not listed, presumably out of privacy concerns.
