About these numbers

“Born” counts the babies of each sex given the name in 1967, from Social Security's records. “Alive today” estimates how many of them are still living, using SSA's cohort life tables for people born in 1967. “Avg. age, everyone” is the average age of everyone alive with the name, not just the 1967 babies. How we calculate this
