Best sites for names

Nameberry is definitely my favorite site for browsing names and meanings, but I also love looking at the social security website for popularity in the USA. I would love to see similar data from other countries but I don’t know where to look! Help me! Let me know where you all find name data so I can be even more obsessive!

Thanks berries!

behindthename has a lot of popularity statistics for quite a few countries. Otherwise, if you want a certain countries data, you can Google it, but not all countries keep name statistics.

I like Ourbabynamer’s name popularity feature because it takes the SSA data but goes beyond the top 1000 names. So you can see a name’s popularity even when it wasn’t in the top 1000. It’s handy when there’s a name you like that’s NEVER been in the top 1000 and you want to track its use. You can also compare names’ popularity.

Hey Berries! I know how old this thread is, but I wasn’t sure where to put this discovery. I definitely agree that Nameberry is the best (and my favorite) site to look up names, but I just found a YouTube channel of one site I used from before I found NB.

In addition to popularity and meanings, the site has a place where you can hear other users’ pronunciations of the name, and their YouTube channel puts all the pronunciations in a compilation. I just came across this video that they released today, and it includes my pronunciation of the name [name_u]Taran[/name_u] from about two years ago! This was back when [name_f]Tara[/name_f] was at the top of my girls’ list. :smiley:
