What if I can't see data for boys or girls in the chart above?
These charts show the number of boy and girl births each year where a person is given that name. The scale on the chart changes to accommodate the more popular gender. That means if you compare a really popular name for girls with a not-so-popular name for boys, the not-so-popular name registers such a small amount on the chart that you almost can't see it.
