Find baby name dataset

Hopefully something with a decent size but also some additional information. Things like popularity metrics, gender, origin, meaning, etc. are the most important.

Quick google revealed dozens of csvs, dbs, apis. but everything different.

Well for the MVP it might be enough to catch like 100 boy/girl names, and put them into the app, but for all the details you mentioned, especially popularity we would need to gather official data (which is available, but different around the countries is guess)

I'm able to find US names quickly and easily, but can't find any worldwide names. Let's start with the US and expand on the next version, but look for a world list.

Alright, makes sense, just add the latest year of the datasets as an asset into the project i guess?
I assume also adding a getter, so that the data is easily accessible?
