Jace Jackquline

Each line is every baby given the name that year, girls and boys added together — the only count that means the same thing for both names. A line breaks where the name fell below five babies in a year — the point at which the SSA stops publishing it — rather than being drawn through a figure nobody published. A single published year in a gap shows as a dot.

Who was ahead

Of the 88 years in which either name was published, Jace for 67 years and Jackquline for 21 years. The lead changed hands 5 times.

A rank is a position within one sex’s list for one year, so the two rank rows are not subtracted from one another and the winning column is not marked on them. The living figure is a life-table estimate, not a count.

Half of the Jackqulines alive today are over 61; half the Jaces are over 11. That is 50 years between them: two names in use at the same time, worn by two different generations.
