ArchivesRe: For Mike C: Name popularities for Korea and Japan.
in reply to a message by Dododo
Thank you for these. There are some shortcomings with the Japanese list as Rene pointed out. Lists compiled by private organizations tend to have a sample size that is too small or skewed.
The major issue with putting Japanese and Korean names on this site is that my software expects the name to be written only one way in Latin characters. Yes, there are Hebrew, Armenian and Russian popularity lists on the site, but they list only one Latin transcription. Japanese and Korean names often have several readings, so I need to rewrite the software at some point to account for that.

Not sure if you're still planning to rework the software re: JP/KR readings, Mike, but I should let you know that the 2021 data is out. Also, from the KR link, it seems the site grabs the data from Supreme Court of Korea (http://efamily.scourt.go.kr/), so maybe it would be wise to list that as the primary source (and maybe namechart also).
Slightly off-topic but on the same topic of name data, several countries' lists need updating (Galicia, Hungary, Lithuania, NZ, Norway, Poland, Slovenia and Turkey). Also, the links on a couple of these need updating as well:
NZ: https://smartstart.services.govt.nz/news/baby-names/
Poland: https://dane.gov.pl/pl/dataset/219,imiona-nadawane-dzieciom-w-polsce
Slovenia: https://pxweb.stat.si/SiStat/sl (direct links to baby name data; also https://www.stat.si/ImenaRojstva/sl#/names/topBabyNames)
Turkey: https://data.tuik.gov.tr/ ("name" in search and 'Statistical Tables' section)

I've updated NZ, Poland, Slovenia and Turkey, thank you!
Reworking the software for Japan and Korea is still on the back burner.
