We wanted to give you a top ten list of baby names by county. Turns out, for most counties in Iowa, there is not enough repeated names each year to make a top ten list.
There is a state-wide trend toward unique names, particularly among girls names. Some Iowa counties regularly reach 100% uniqueness, meaning there are no babies given the same name in a single year.
Measure Description:
- This chart shows the percent of names that are unique for a selected county or the state of Iowa. A unique name is one that is only given to one baby per year, per county/state, per sex.
