I compiled official name counts from the US (SSA), England & Wales (ONS), Scotland (NRS), Northern Ireland (NISRA), France (Insee), Canada (StatCan), Ireland (CSO), Spain (INE), Norway (SSB), Austria (Statistik Austria), Poland (PESEL) and Switzerland (BFS) into one table. One row per name that appears in at least two of these countries with 100+ records each. For each country: female count, male count and female share. Summary columns say whether the name flips (≥70% girls in one country and ≥70% boys in another) and where. - 14,174 rows, ~1.3 MB - 479 names flip; France vs. the US is the most common pair (223), then Switzerland vs. the US (99) - Only sources with real counts; Spain, Poland and Switzerland count residents, the others births - Accents are removed before matching (so Ríadh and Riadh share a row) Download and method: https://namegender.com/research/names-that-change-gender-by-country Direct CSV: https://namegender.com/datasets/names-gender-by-country.csv Licence CC BY 4.0, with the underlying sources credited on the page. I run a name-to-gender API (NameGender), which is why I built this; the file is free and needs no account.
