Namevoyager allows you to take a deep dive into your favorite name's place in the historical tides of the recorded American Social Security archives and as such it is an interactive portrait of America's name choices.
Namevoyager takes wind in a "sea" of nearly 5000 names. By typing a letter, you'll zoom in to focus on how that initial has been used over the past one hundred years to give names to boys and girls. Then type a few more letters, or an entire name.
Each visualized stripe is a timeline record of a name, its width reflecting popularity at anyone time.
