How do you determine how many names are displayed for top names of the country?
So for the USA top names the most common 1000 are displayed. Cool, that makes sense because the SSA posts an easily accessible version of the top 1000 names. Though I know more are available if you download the actual files for baby names per year I'm assuming its a waste of space to include more than the top 1000. But for Canada it only displays the top 100? Why? From 1991 to 2023 StatsCan has every name and its ranking displayed. Why not use the top 1000 for Canada as well? I'm a data nerd (quite literally a stats major) so the more data easily accessible on this site, the happier I am. Also I'm sure Canada isn't the only country that has more available, I'm Canadian so it's just what I know about.
Also if its a resources/staff thing, I would literally happily add Canada or any other countries additional rankings in my spare time
