How to consult the list of the SSA?
The Social Security Adminstration (SSA) allows people to identify the popularity of their name over twenty-year periods. By scrolling down to the bottom of the page, you will find a box where you can type the name and select a twenty period (2000 & later, 1890 & later, etc.). If a name does not make it to the 1000 most popular names list, then no data will be provided on the popularity of the game.
