How it works
The Social Security Administration publishes
anonymized naming data
with records back to 1880 and state- and territory-level
breakdowns for researchers and hobbyists. We reorganize that
data into a daily quiz for name nerds—check back every day
for a new set of surprises.
If you have any questions or run into problems, please

🎉 See you tomorrow!!
