About these numbers
“Born” counts the babies of each sex given the name in the 2010s, from Social Security's records. “Alive today” estimates how many of those babies are still living, using SSA's cohort life tables. “Avg. age, everyone” is the average age of everyone alive with the name, not just the 2010s babies.
