BabyNames R Documentation
Names of children as recorded by the US Social Security Administration.
Description
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.
Usage

Format
A data frame with 1,792,091 entries on four variables:
