Description

INSEE (French national institute of statistics) realeased two datasets reporting the names given to French babies since 1900 : one at the national level and one at the departmental level. This dataset allows to track trends in how French babies are named since 1900, explore the proportion of male/female in population over times, find the more gender neutral names, and more.

What differences between those two datasets and the original ones released by INSEE ?

I've taken the raw files from INSEE and made a little shaping and cleaning work:

• Data are cleaned from missing values in the year column.
• Unusual names (less than 20 babies born in the same year) are dropped.
• Columns names are translated from french to english.
• Department names are added on the department-level dataset (column dpt_name).
