Your name is a time capsule.
Type a first name and see its whole life in the data: when it peaked, who carries it, how old they probably are, and whether it's on the way up — or out.
How it works
📇 What the data knows
Every figure comes from the U.S. Social Security Administration's public record of names given to babies born in the United States between 1880 and 2024. The SSA counts a name in a given year only if at least five babies received it — so very rare names won't appear.
🎂 The estimated average age
We estimate the typical age of living people with a name by combining how many were born each year with a rough survival curve. It captures how "old" or "young" a name feels, but it's an approximation — not a precise actuarial figure — so we always label it estimated.
📈 Peak, rank & trend
The chart shows how many babies got the name each year. The peak is the highest year; the rank is where the name sat among all 2024 names; and "rising / falling" describes the direction over recent years. These are descriptions of what the data shows, not predictions about any individual.
