Help[Facts] Name Popularity
Does anybody know of a website that has the popularity statistics of baby names (or adults) that go beyond the top 1000 or how I would go about finding that information? I've tried the social security administration but had no luck.
What I'm looking for is just how uncommon certain unusual names are, specifically Mercy as a given name. I was hoping that I could find a website that said how many people in the US or even in a particular state were named that in a given year. Does a website like this even exist?

I can't find anything past the top 1000 for the last hundred years, but I found this site: http://www.thenamemachine.com/babynames/
which will let you track the popularity of a given name (and they seem to have a fairly extensive database of names)over the course of the most recent decade OR a hundered year cycle. It's not a lot, graphically.. but it is fairly fun to see how fast some names come back vs. other names!
Hope that helps, some.
