How Is This Data Calculated?

All figures on this page are statistical estimates, not exact government headcounts. The underlying data comes from the SSA National Baby Names dataset, which records every given name assigned to 5 or more babies per year going back to 1880. Current living counts are derived by applying age-adjusted survival rates to each birth cohort. For common names the estimates are quite reliable; for rare names the margin of error is wider. Full methodology is explained on the methodology page.
