Built on the Social Security Administration baby names files, usBabyNames.js returns interesting historical data on baby name usage from 1880-2023. With almost two million total entries packaged within a sqlite3 database, each record contains the following:

* Name

* Sex

* Number of births that year

* Rank for that year

* Pronunciation

* Notes about history and usage

* Origin

... since it's built on the SSA data, it's 100% public domain data. Pretty interesting to chart and graph.

Of course, suggestions as to how to improve it, totally welcome
