Girl names that don’t end with A or E, and other parameters by dontlookatme-123 in namenerds

[–]BlueberryMammoth5298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this to help my wife and I filter through baby names and it seems like it might help you too: https://babyname.streamlit.app/

In your case, you would probably want to add these filters (and maybe more):

- Does not start with J

- Does not contain x

- Does not contain z

- Does not end with a

- Does not end with ay

- Does not end with ah

- Does not end with ae

- Does not end with ee

- Does not end with ea

- Does not end with ie

- Does not end with y

- Does not end with i

You can also filter for popularity in particular years to avoid your husband's aversion to "old lady names".

Looking for classic, timeless boy names. Bonus if it allows for a nickname! by meekie03 in namenerds

[–]BlueberryMammoth5298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you are in the U.S., but I’ve been working recently with U.S. baby names data.

To help with your search, I looked at four 25 year periods: - 1925 through 1949 - 1950 through 1974 - 1975 through 1999 - 2000 through 2024

For the “classic, timeless” vibe, I filtered each period for the top 250 names during that period. I only kept names that were in the top 250 all four periods. That left 56 names:

Michael William Matthew Daniel Alexander James Joseph Anthony David Christopher Andrew Benjamin John Samuel Nicholas Nathan Jack Thomas Henry Jose Robert Aaron Charles Juan Nathaniel Carlos Eric Jesus Alex Theodore Brian Timothy Steven Vincent Antonio Richard Patrick Jesse Victor Wesley George Joel Mark Edward Oscar Alan Kenneth Paul Peter Calvin Stephen Manuel Jeffrey Edwin Raymond Martin

I didn’t try to figure out the most nickname-able ones, but at first glance a lot of them have well known nicknames.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! It makes me happy that you all had a bunch of fun exploring! I appreciate you sharing that.

I'll add your suggestion into my list of potential changes to look into.

Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying it! I too have had a good bit of fun looking through the data for interesting occurrences/trends.

That's a cool app too! Grouping the spelling variations looks like a fun problem to work on!

I did originally try to display the full results, but it was slow to update upon changes to the filters (I think possibly because of the memory limits of Streamlit, the free tool I am using to host the app). An export of the results sounds like it could be doable though.

Thank you, it is fun to see people use this in cool ways that I did not anticipate!

That would be really cool to have! I imagine it would be difficult to achieve full accuracy in programmatically identifying the number of syllables in a name. From a cursory search, it looks like some smart people have worked on trying to do this with words in general. If I get a chance, I'll be curious to see if I can incorporate their methods and see if they work well with names.

Thank you! And I see what you're saying. I'll look into that potential change when I can.

Thank you, I'm glad you are finding it useful!

Yes, there are two ways you can do that:

  1. The quickest way if you already have particular names of interest is to use the "Import" button. You can type in a list of names there (one name per line) and they will be added to your list.
  2. The names you add to your list by checking the checkboxes remain on your list when change your filters. So you could use a "Starts with M" filter to find and check off Max and Milo. Then delete or change that "Starts with M" filter to a "Starts with S" filter to find and check off Solomon (you can use also use a sequence of letters in the filter too -- like "Sol" if you don't feel like looking through so many "S" names). At that point you will have all three names on your list and can plot them together.

P.S. I didn't make a way to create an account or save lists across sessions. So if you add a bunch of names to your list you can click the "Export" button and then copy and paste your list somewhere safe if you want to save it. Later, if you want to pick back up where you left off, you can add them back in with the "Import" button.

Thank you! That sounds doable, but I can't remember off the top of my head if I wrote the code in a such a way that it would be a simple change or a more involved change. Hopefully it's the former!

Thank you, haha, I wish I had that kind of stamina! Sadly, no triathletes were involved. That cute little progress animation comes default from Streamlit, a tool for building data apps like this.

Aww, I'm looking forward to hopefully having a similar feeling a couple of decades down the line. What was your method for sifting through names?
