Reply to comment by [deleted] in Sex composition of baby names in the USA and England/Wales: 2021 [OC] by pncohen

Same. I don't get what this chart is showing?

I think it is this: for all the babies born in 2021 having a given name, the location on each axis is the percentage of those babies who are female in either the US or England/Wales.

So for example, for babies with the name Angel: in England/Wales, about 82% are female and in the US, only about 13% are female. In both locations, more than 80% of babies with the name Wren are female and fewer than 20% of babies named Dillon are female.

Some conclusions you could make: In England/Wales, Hadley is more likely to be considered a boy's name (just over 20% female) but in the US, Hadley is almost exclusively a girl's name (nearly 100% female). In both areas, Dillon is a boy's name and Wren is a girl's name.

đŸ”„ A chart requiring a three paragraph explanation that may or may not even be correct. Why is this “chart” even here?

I mean it's pretty clear that's how this chart works without that explanation...

And my comment was pointing out that it's actually an easy chart to understand.

I never claimed I was or was not the subject of your comment, nor was I clarifying what the subject of your comment was.

Or at least, include this description next to the chart

The labels of the axes tell you the same thing as the description, just more succinctly.
