Interesting Things about Names

The SSA statistics gives the possibility to see many facts, connected with the dependance of spreading names in the United States. The data of the observation of 110 years have the information about names of 314 mln newborn children - 151 mln girls and 163 mln boys. The curve of the birthrate started growing actively in 40s, that is connected with the improvement of wellbeing of families after the end of great depression. However in 60s the birthrate got lower a little and is still practically at the same level till now. Also in 40-50s there was the predominance of the birth of boys in the comparison with the birth of girls. On everage there were 9 born girls on every 10 boys. When girls grow they must not have problems with bridegrooms. During these years the growth of the variety of names which parents use began to appear. The total number of names recorded during 110 years is 31 000, though till the 40s of the last century parents used about 2 000 names of boys (the same number of girls). In 2000s 4 500 names of boys and 6 000 names of girls were already used. However, conservatism in the use of boy names continued until the 70s. The number of traditionally used names during 100 years is not more than 1 000, 514 girls' names, 668 boys names. And if you want to give a child a real american name, I have collected these names in separate lists for you.
