Add another graphic to the baby name genre of visualization. Karim Douïeb put a spin on name trends by shaping the actual name to the line. Enter your name and see how many babies were given the name over time. Sometimes parents name their kid Santa.
Only the top of the vertically-sized letters represent the trend, with the bases below the zero-axis. I’m guessing that’s to keep names readable. Fun either way.
