How this collection is built
The names are grouped by hand; every rank beside them is an official birth registration count, read from each place’s most recent complete list. A name that ranks for both girls and boys appears under both tabs with its own rank in each — those two positions are often far apart, and that gap is the interesting part.
See the same names year by year in the full rankings.
