ArchivesQuestion about popularity list
I had a quick question about the popularity lists. I noticed that Maida didn't show up when I searched for popularity, but when I did so on SSN, it registered. Does this mean that the popularity lists only includes names in the database?
Baptists have one consistent record concerning liberty throughout all their long and eventful history. They have never been a party to oppression of conscience. They have forever been the unwavering champions of liberty, both religious and civil.

It's not that . . .
I just tried a random spelling I saw in the 2000 list - Jazmyne. It's in the BtN lists but not in the BtN database.
The SSA lists and the BtN lists don't always tally up exactly. I'm not 100% sure of the reasons, but the SSA lists don't always stay the same (for example, the 1920s list has changed a couple of times), and the bottom end of the list is usually the most affected. I guess that the data is updated sometimes on the SSA website but that Mike hasn't necessarily updated the BtN lists to match the SSA lists.
So I'm guessing that Maida is one of those names that shows up on SSA lists that have been altered since Mike uploaded the data.
