How spread out were names in 1967?

The ten most popular girls' names went to 15.8% of the girls counted in 1967, and the top ten boys' names to 28.3% of the boys. In 1947, those shares were 25.7% for girls and 34.4% for boys.

Source: Social Security Administration, national baby name data, data through 2025. Names given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year aren't published, so totals are a little lower than actual births.
