Field notes
The homepage contrasts the Social Security Administration’s spelling-by-spelling list with its own combined-spelling counts, and links to a page explaining the method. It also exposes several ways to explore the data, including state and year rankings, rising and falling names, and filters for sound, style, origin, and meaning. A surname check is described as covering rhythm, initials, rhymes, and the monogram.
