Why is this not sortable [1]? One table with the following columns: Name, Gender, Rank 2020, Rank 2021, Delta.
[1] (Yes, I know you can copy/paste into a spreadsheet. This presentation is so close yet so /r/mildlyinfuriating.)

Very hard to make that sort of thing fully accessible.

#4Well, "Karen" i guess is understandable, but "Denise" and "Carolyn" being unpopular seem a bit strange.
Mind you, i have never liked my own names, so what do i know.

#6Well I never thought my name would ever rank high enough in popularity to even be on the table (although there are at least two of us on Hacker News) but it apparently dropped by eleven. I'm strangely proud of that.

#7Jaxtyn? I googled it, and sure enough there are a lot of little Jaxtyn's running around.

#9I was looking for this and had to search for it - here's the page with names that increased in popularity and ones that stayed the same: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/rankchange.html

#10Would be much more interesting to see absolute numbers compared instead.
My conjecture is that Mason is the biggest YoY decrease (11 -> 18), followed by Abigail and Michael (both 12 -> 17).
The counts elsewhere on the website show:
- Mason: 10,075 babies -> 9,040 babies (down 1,035)
- Abigail: 7,874 babies -> 6,938 babies (down 936)
- Michael: 9,783 babies -> 9,041 babies (down 742)
