Where these numbers come from
U.S. Social Security Administration, national baby name files (United States; top 1,000 names per SSA sex category for each year 1980-2024. SSA files omit names with fewer than 5 births in a year.). Ranks are counted from the yearly files, highest count first, with alphabetical order for ties, so a few tied ranks may differ from SSA’s own pages. SSA leaves out names given to fewer than 5 babies in a year, and spellings are counted separately (Sofia and Sophia are different names).
