Some of the popularity-related tools on this site can be hard to find, so here's a summary of those relating to the American data.
https://www.behindthename.com/top/state.phpAnimations of popularity at the state level for a select group of names. Choose a name and watch as the popularity wanes and waxes over the last 60 years. If a state shows as black, the name isn't in the top 100. Otherwise, the "hotter" the color, the more popular the name is in that state.
https://www.behindthename.com/top/meta.phpAn analysis of what *properties* of names are most popular. For example, what is the most common length of names, or the most common initial letter?
https://www.behindthename.com/top/beyond.phpThis is available to registered users only, but it allows you to search ALL of the SSA's data, beyond just the top 1000. It includes all names that have been given at least 5 times in a year.
https://www.behindthename.com/top/us.phpAn analysis across all years the SSA has released data, from 1880 to now.
And finally, the following is a tool (suggested by contributor Jason Clauss) that provides a visual of the top 50. It hasn't really been polished yet, but you can take a look. You're going to need to scroll your screen to the right to see all the data, so you might want to give it a pass if you're on your phone.
