I was wondering what tools people use to assess how popular a first name is?
There are a variety of tools available that are country specific. For example, for US data one can use the tool as part of the DomainAcademy course, for those enrolled, or this useful site (thank you DomainPunk!) https://www.mynamestats.com/First-Names-Search.html
But what about a one-site place to find global estimates of how many people in the world have a certain first name?
Yes, things like LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube etc. searches, or Google tools, can give an indirect metric related to popularity, or simply a Google search for that matter, but has any entity tried to consolidate national registries so one can look up an actual number?
Some sites to help people naming babies (no that is not my personal motivation for request) exist, generally, it seems, based on data for a specific country.
Anyway, look forward to any suggestions of useful approaches or tools.
Thank you in advance.

PS I did try ChatGPT on a few specific names. It does give somewhat helpful answers, but not specific number I am looking for.
