  "methodology": "Union of the top 500 F and top 500 M names in the latest imported year, exact spelling. Ranks use all published records per sex, descending count then alphabetical ties. Both-sex counts/ranks use the full latest-year source, not only top 500 membership. Gender is girl/boy by top-500 membership, or unisex when present in both top-500 lists; this is a statistical selection label, not a cultural assertion. Missing counts/ranks are null, never zero; SSA suppresses small counts. Trends retain full-source ranks and counts for each imported year.",
  "limitations": [
    "US 50 states and DC; Social Security application records, not every birth.",
    "Recorded sex may contain errors and is not gender identity.",
    "No meanings, origins, cultural claims or invented data.",
    "2024 is the latest year in the pinned mirror, NOT the latest SSA release; SSA lists 2025 but the official archive returned HTTP 403 from this environment."
