Baby Names API
US given-name popularity from 1880 to 2008 as an API — the top 1,000 names per year for each sex (SSA-derived dataset, 6,782 names). Pull a name's full popularity trend (e.g. Emma → girls: rank #1 in 2008, peaked again in 1881), get the top names for any year (e.g. 1990 → Jessica, Ashley, Brittany), or search names by prefix/substring. Each data point carries the year, the share of births (percent and per-million) and the rank. Ideal for name-trend visualisations, baby-name apps, nostalgia/genealogy tools and data journalism.
