To provide popular names and maintain an acceptable performance level on our servers, we provide only the top 1000 names through our forms. However, we provide almost all names for researchers interested in naming trends.
To safeguard privacy, we restrict our list of names to those with at least 5 occurrences. We provide these data on both a national and state-specific basis, in two separate collections of files, each zipped into a single file. The format of the data in the two files is described in a "readme" file contained in the respective zip files.
What percentage of all names are represented in the top 1000 names?
For U.S. births in 2010, the top 1000 names represent about 73
percent of all names.
