Popular names data

Data on the names of all babies born in the United States in 2022, as provided by the Social Security Administration. Each observation corresponds to a specific name and gender, with a count of that name provided. For confidentiality reasons, the minimum count for any name is 5. All other names (with fewer than 5 occurrences in the U.S.) are included within the observation having "OTHER" as the name. There are two "OTHER" observations, one for female babies and one for male babies. Data are sorted alphabetically by name.
