How spread out were names in 2007?

The ten most popular girls' names went to 8.8% of the girls counted in 2007, and the top ten boys' names to 9.8% of the boys. In 1987, those shares were 18.2% for girls and 21.8% 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.
