The U.S. Social Security administration provides a history of First Names given on a baby's birth certificate in the U.S. from 1879 to the present day. Visit the official SSA Baby Names site for more information.
A list the top 1000 most popular baby names every ten years from 1936 to 2006 is available for researchers (SSA-Top1000BabyNames1936to2006.txt). From this list 4267 distinct first names were classified as Male (0), Female(1), or Androgenous (2) (SSA-BabyNamesByGender.txt). Aside from coding gender, matches on these names may represent some degree of Anglicization.
