Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jacoblee can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024.

Does every first name have Census demographic data?
