Our very own Baby Name Explorer

No doubt you’ve all whiled away the odd hour putting your name, and that of all your friends into the famous Baby Name Explorer. But it was always a bit artificial from an Aussie point of view I felt, because the data was from the US. What, no Lachlan??
The good news is, thanks to a cross government project involving the Powerhouse Museum, NSW now has its very own Baby Name Explorer - it’s part of the NSW Government Portal.
I’ve always thought this was a truly great data visualisation as it allows us to look at such a profound aspect of our own identities in a new and intriguing way. There’s a nice story in the Daily Telegraph (hmmm, that’s eight words I never thought I’d type together in a sentence) which I think helps explain why this perspective in the information is so fascinating.
