I Parsed Every Name from SSA Cards and Visualized the Data

Hacker News

Hi HN! I’m Aram, a fourteen year old in Seattle. I recently found out that the social security administration (SSA) provides datasets of every name on a social security card (1880-2023)! So i made a tool for people to graph them, compare them with other names, view the most popular names of years, and even see how many people are alive with a name (using a rough actuary db also from the ssa). I would love to hear y’all’s thoughts! It's also open source https://github.com/aramshiva/nomen if you want to check out the code
