How do the popularity tiers work?

How are the popularity tiers defined?

Tiers use each name's current SSA rank: very common (1–50), popular (51–200), distinctive (201–500), and uncommon (501–1000). A lower rank means more babies received the name in the latest data year.

Is a lower-ranked name a "worse" name?

No, rank only measures how often a name is currently chosen. Many parents deliberately pick distinctive (201–500) or uncommon (501+) names to balance familiarity with individuality.

How often does this update?

The finder reads the latest Social Security Administration release directly, so rankings refresh whenever the federal data does (typically once per year).
