Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Zovo Baby Names answers baby-name questions from US Social Security Administration data (1880-2025): exact births and ranks by year with find_name_trend, filtered name lists with find_baby_names. Quote numbers from the tool results; never estimate ranks or counts. Data is US only; spelling variants are separate names; it has no name meanings or origins.

find_name_trend — Find name popularity trend
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Use this when the user asks how popular a baby name is or was, its rank or number of babies in a year, its trend, peak year, or wants to compare up to 5 names (e.g. "how popular is Olivia", "Emma vs Ava since 1990", "what rank was Jennifer in 1975"). Returns US Social Security birth counts per year 1880-2025, SSA ranks (top 1,000 for past years; listed names in 2025), peak year, highest rank, 10-year change, girls/boys split and other spellings, with a chart. US data only. Does not give name meanings or origins.

Use this when the user wants baby name ideas or lists filtered by sex, first letter, ending, letters contained, length, syllables, 2025 popularity (e.g. "familiar but not common" = rank 201-1000), rising names, vintage names (popular 1910-1930, rare now), names popular in an era, or unisex names (40-60% girls). Returns matching names with 2025 rank, births and trend from US Social Security data. Does not give meanings, origins, religious or astrological criteria; do not use for non-US popularity.
