Hi, I'm Andy Black

I'm a web and software developer and online marketer who's been building things on the internet since around 2005. Over the years, I've developed and launched multiple SaaS and software products, each one teaching me something new about what people actually need.

Lately, I've been on a bit of a different path. Instead of building subscription services, I wanted to create free, valuable tools that anyone in the world could use. No paywalls, no hidden features. Just genuinely useful resources that make people's lives a little bit easier.

That's where BabyNamePopularity.com came from.

When I started looking into baby names (like you do), I realized something was missing. Sure, there are plenty of name lists out there, but I couldn't find a tool that really made the most of the raw data that's publicly available from official sources. I wanted something with depth, something that let you explore trends over time, compare names side by side, and discover which names are genuinely rising or falling in popularity.

So I built it.

This site pulls from official birth register data spanning nearly 30 years. You can uncover some interesting name ideas for your unborn child, track which names are gaining momentum, see which ones are quietly disappearing, and even compare multiple names across decades. It's all about giving you the tools to make a more informed choice, or at least satisfy your curiosity about where your favorite name stands.

I built this because I believe good data should be accessible. And if it helps even a few expectant parents discover the perfect name, or just gives someone a fun rabbit hole to explore for an hour, then I've done what I set out to do.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find something useful here.
