Context

My wife wanted me to come up with new baby names to suggest to her. I wanted to use data-backed insights to solve this problem.

Approach

  • Aggregated & cleaned over 140 years of SSA records, engineering trend and saturation features.
  • Created a script to suggest names so I could quiz my wife.
  • Engineered multiple models then averaged results to provide recommendations.

Impact

  • Generated personalized top 50 names for boys and girls for my wife.
  • Successfully named my child with recommendations.
