Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the most popular baby\u2019s name these years? Are there any relationships between different names and ethnicities? Which name is used by both male and female?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always good to know people\u2019s preferences and tastes to pick names for babies. By connecting name, gender and ethnicity, there are some stereotypes and exciting findings that we even didn\u2019t notice before. For example, 90% of the name Angel belongs to boy, and also 90% of them are Hispanic. In my country\u2019s culture, Angel is a girl\u2019s name since we describe beautiful girls as an angel. However, in Spanish, angel was derived from the name of the heavenly creature (itself derived from the Greek word \u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2 (angelos) meaning \u201cmessenger,\u201d and is a common male name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving a name is always a tough and challenging job to do. This popular name\u2019s visualization is handy for people who have this issue. By learning what\u2019s the most popular names these years and their popularity trends, it will be easier to give a name with both uniqueness and universality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, it will help foreigners to give themselves a common and proper name instead of Cherry, Bunny or Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this map because it shows me the trend for the change of most popular name by year. It\u2019s super bright and easy to understand. Some names might look old-fashion today, but very common in old people, and I could find the reason here. However, I could tell that this map is built on millions of data. My data is way smaller, and I need to find another way to visualize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
