    First Name Lookup Tool For Live Births

    The Pennsylvania First Name Lookup Tool is an interactive tool that allows you to look up specific names recorded on the certificates of live birth since 1990. There is a tool for boys* (.xlsb) and a tool for girls* (.xlsb). The tool displays the rank in popularity, frequency, and some descriptive statistics by year for the names you are interested in. No effort was made to correct potential misspellings of names.

    *The file is in .XLSB format, which requires Microsoft Excel version 2007 or higher. Microsoft offers a free compatibility pack to open .XLSB files in older versions of Microsoft Excel.
