interactive US baby name popularity visualizer w/ combined spellings & more
Area chart mode to see combined popularity of names matching a search and line chart mode for comparing individual names. A modern, mobile-friendly update of the Name Voyager by Laura and Martin Wattenberg. Combines names with the same pronunciation so "Kate" and "Cate" appear as one polygon.
Also features Multiple search types, male/female/gender-neutral data views in Settings menu, and links to details pages that go into spelling variations in greater depth.
I put a lot of effort into making an intro tour that explains the features available.
Data is from Social Security Administration: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/limits.html
I also used CMU pronouncing dictionary: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict
Visualization is built with Svelte, D3, d3plus, and LayerChart. Analysis done in python mainly using polars and numpy.
