Name Popularity
Where do I find websites and stuff of how many people were named a certain name? I see people submit names saying "This name was given to 62 people in 2016 in Italy" and I wanna know where to find that.(I'm asking this because i wanna submit a name and actually give people info on it)

Well most countries keep their own records. https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/publications/babies-first-names-2024/ for Scotland. Newspapers also tend to summarise these a little after the end of a year.I usually google les noms le plus populaires en France en 2023 or some such, depending on the year, and country.
If I don't speak the language I'd google in English or use a translator.

If you have an account, you can look in the US Beyond section and type in a name. Any name that is used at least 5 times in a year will appear.

I can PM you list of sources name editors use. Would you like this?
