I am coining the term golden name

I like random lists, so I decided to make a list of the names that have the number of babies born that year that match the year. That's hard to comprehend, maybe. For example, if the year were 2015 and 2015 baby girls born that year were named Trixie, Trixie would be a golden name for that year. All data comes from the SSA Baby Names website and applies to U.S. births.

Girls

1907 - Minnie
1930 - Janice
1960 - Tracey
1966 - Jeanette
1997 - Selena

Boys

1916 - Oscar
1923 - Arnold
1928 - Jimmie
1934 - Harvey
1949 - Vernon
1954 - Jackie
1998 - Gage

Geographical Names

Data is all from SSA.gov and pertains to baby names given to U.S. children in 2017. Names given to 4 or fewer children of one sex in a year are not released publicly, so if you know a baby born in 2017 named, for example, Wyoming, they may have been the only one that year. Sex organs do not confer gender, but for simplicity's sake, assume "girl" means a baby assigned female at birth, and "boy" means a baby assigned male at birth. U.S. States 16 girls were named Alabama. 77 girls were named Alaska. 111 girls were named Arizona. 16 girls were named California. 1305 girls were named Georgia. 104 girls and 70 boys were named Indiana. 19 girls were named Kansas. 6 girls were named Louisiana. 115 girls and 68 boys were named Montana. 32 girls and 11 boys were named Nevada. 140 girls and 25 boys were named Jersey. 6 boys were named York. 715 girls were named Carolina. 1346 girls and 984 boys were named Dakota, not to mention that 54 girls and 44 boys ...

Spotify Discover Weekly for April 8-14

"Never Been to Spain" - Elvis Presley from album: As Recorded at Madison Square Garden (1972) Allmusic genre: Contemporary Pop/Rock My thoughts: I remember looking up this song and playing it once before in the past year, but now I can't remember why; it was probably mentioned in a novel I was reading and I couldn't remember ever having heard it. Elvis is in good voice, but it's very bombastic and has way too many horns. Give me 1950's Sun Records Elvis to this 1970's stuff any day. ** "When You're Falling" - Afro Celt Sound System, feat. Peter Gabriel from album: Volume 3: Further in Time (2001) Allmusic genre: Ethnic Fusion My thoughts: I'm not sure what I did that made the algorithm recommend this to me, but it does have Peter Gabriel on vocals, so that's a nice surprise. It's a happy little song; I will add it to try-outs. **** "Lay Lady Lay (ALTERNATE VERSION)" - The Byrds from album:  Dr. Byrds & ...
