Can someone please direct me to a place where I can see how many babies were given a name in any given year? I would love to know how many babies were actually given a certain name, but I do not know where to find that information. Help, please!
I know for the US, anyway, you can search by number of children born on the ssa list at:
I have a British friend that sent me a link that I know did this, but I really have no clue where it is now! My laptop screen cracked, so I’ve been borrowing others’ computers until I can have it fixed, and I think I had it saved there. I found this, but it’s for 2011, not 2012. I don’t think the 2013 data will be out for a couple months still. 
Good luck!
Thanks! An hour later, I now know that in 2012, 162 babies were given the same name as my daughter, plus 5 more with an alternate spelling. Good to know, I suppose!
