Baby names 2022

We've probably done a babynames dataset before, but we could potentially do one again with the 2022 data.

From @simonpcouch we can download the “National Data” which resulted in a zipped folder of .txt files, one for each year. The following script then combines them all into one data frame.

names <- list.files("~/Downloads/names", full.names = TRUE)
​
names_raw <-
tibble(
year = basename(names),
data = map(names, read_csv, col_names = c("name", "sex", "count"))
)
​
baby_names <-
names_raw %>%
mutate(year = gsub("yob", "", year),
year = gsub(".txt", "", year, fixed = TRUE),
year = as.numeric(year)) %>%
unnest(data)
