• Trends Over Time: Tracked the most popular girls' names by year and analyzed changes in name popularity for both genders.
• Biggest Popularity Jumps: Found names with the largest increase in popularity from the first to the last year in the dataset.
• Yearly and Decadal Trends: Retrieved the top 3 girls' and boys' names for each year and decade.
• Regional Analysis:
  • Counted the number of babies born in each of the six U.S. regions.
  • Identified the top 3 girls' and boys' names in each region.
• Androgynous Names: Listed the 10 most popular gender-neutral names.
• Name Length Analysis:

This analysis provides valuable insights into naming patterns, cultural shifts, and regional influences. The findings can be further visualized using Power BI or Tableau for deeper exploration.
