About this site |
In 1998, the Social Security Administration
published
Actuarial Note #139, Name Distributions in the Social Security Area,
August 1997, on the distribution of given names of Social Security number
holders. We now make such name data available by allowing
you to request data from one of the forms above. Our popular names are
limited to the top 1000 names (top 100 by State) for each
year of birth. We do not conduct research on baby name popularity or naming trends. |
