A lot of names are "just words":

Daisy, Rose, Dahlia, Petunia, Sally, Sky, Margarita, Hunter, etc.

Of course!

The source is Our World in Data, but you can see the underlying spreadsheet and dataset here (and copy it if you want). The definition of the continent also comes from Our World in Data.

Percentage points

The labels of the axes tell you the same thing as the description, just more succinctly.

I mean it's pretty clear that's how this chart works without that explanation...

They didn't say top right and bottom left, though, did they?

An idiot can definitely run some of the biggest companies in the world if they have the right people supporting them.

Idk it's just not very schwifty

Not inflation adjusted then?

What does increase (pp) mean? Per person? That doesn't make much sense

Don’t kink shame the investors

Yeah that makes sense. I didn't think about the bailout and how that would affect their public listing. I was just thinking about the historic nature of the company in general.

They almost went under, were bought by the US government in the recession, the government sorted out their finances, then went public again.

Yes this is the most striking conclusion I drew from the graph as well. Essentially,

1. Americans are sometimes giving their daughters traditionally male names
2. British people are not
3. Nobody is giving their sons traditionally female names

Can you explain your capitalism comment? Are you saying these companies shouldn’t/wouldn’t exist at all under socialism/communism?

They went bankrupt in the great recession

On the bottom left are all the names for which there is universal consensus in both Britain and USA that they are considered male. This constitutes the majority of male names, such as John, Mark, Anthony, Matthew etc. which is why it’s so concentrated.

Conversely, on the top right are all the names that both Britain and USA universally consider female.

The fact that gm had an ipo in 2010 also makes no sense to me.

Thanks dad
