data source: name data is from [Social Security Administration](https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/limits.html). births by state are pieced together from a handful of sources: CDC WONDER (2007-2024), CDC natality microdata files (1969-2006), NBER (1947-1967), NHGIS (1930-1950), with some linear interpolation where gaps existed (esp. for AK/HI pre-statehood).
tools: d3.js (heatmap color scale calculations), Svelte (interactivity), SvelteKit (data loading), floating-ui (tooltip), python + polars (data processing)
This isn’t beautiful: it’s an eye exam.
Wow!
So it looks like we see the 80’s as the peak of boy names and girl names being different, then the rise of the Dakotas and Rileys
And I think it shows the boomers born in the south with names like Billie, Jo, and Bobbi?
All the same names in DC so they don’t discriminate against women is my assumption.
