First names come from the US Social Security Administration's baby-name records, which list every name given to at least five babies of the same sex in a year, from 1880 to 2024 (372,009,000 births in total). Last names come from the 2020 US Census list of surnames. Each result shows how common the name really was, so you can tell a classic from a rarity at a glance.
A name is listed as unisex when at least a quarter of the babies given it were boys and at least a quarter were girls, and at least 200 babies got it in the decade you choose (2,000 for "any era"). Each result shows the real girl/boy split, because many names have changed sides over time.
