Tools (12)

• search_names

  Autocomplete search for US baby names. Returns up to 10 suggestions matching the given prefix.

• get_name_data

  Returns full yearly birth count timeseries (1880–2025) for a given name for both sexes, including trend classification (rising/stable/declining/endangered/extinct), peak year, and peak count.

• get_names_by_status

  Returns a curated list of names filtered by trend status.

• get_year_names

  Returns the top baby names for a given birth year (1880–2025).

• get_site_metadata

  Returns top-10 names per year, total birth counts per year, and the full year range covered by the dataset.

• compare_names

  Side-by-side comparison of 2-3 names: full yearly series for each so trends can be plotted or contrasted directly.

• get_name_twin

  Finds the names whose popularity trajectory over time is most similar to the given name (cosine similarity on the yearly series), i.e. names that rose and fell together.

• get_decade_names

  Returns the top baby names aggregated across an entire calendar decade.

• get_year_movers

  Year-over-year rank changes for the top 100 names of each sex vs. the prior year: biggest gainers, biggest losers, and new entrants.

• get_name_enrichment

  Returns a precomputed profile for a name: estimated living population and median age, its popularity wave shape, cultural catalysts (events/media tied to spikes), historical demographic profiles by era (top occupations, region, urban vs. rural), and regional anomalies (states where it over-indexes).

• get_name_diaspora

  Returns the geographic spread of a name over time: where it first broke out (a clearly higher rate there than nationally), when it peaked nationally, which states broke out and when, and which states never did. `neverAdopted` lists the states that never passed the breakout test; it does not mean the name had no bearers there. Names first recorded nationally in 1910 or earlier, before state records begin, list all 51 states because no origin can be observed.

• get_name_debuts

  Returns every name that appeared in SSA records for the first time in the given year — genuine linguistic novelties, celebrity imports, invented spellings, or names newly crossing the 5-birth reporting threshold.
