[Facts] AARP article on Social Security's name lists
For those who might be interested, here is an article from the AARP website which quotes me about the Social Security baby name lists and their influence, published the day before the 2024 lists will hopefully be released.https://www.aarp.org/social-security/baby-names-history.html

Fully 1 in 4 boys and 1 in 3 girls received names outside the 1,000 most common. Wow! That feels like a large percentage. That was a really interesting article, thanks for sharing.

I feel like it’s not as high when you count spelling variants.

Interested? No - absolutely fascinated! Thank you; it's brightened up a chilly autumn day, here in South Africa.
