Help[Facts] For Mike: Australia name data - QLD, VIC, SA, WA
Hi! As a new user, thanks for making such a useful site.
I noticed you only have name trends from New South Wales.
Here's some other states with a lot of data (years covered varies)
Queensland (1960 - 2024) - https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/top-100-baby-names
Victoria (2008 - 2024) - https://www.bdm.vic.gov.au/popular-baby-names-victoria
South Australia (1944 - 2024) - https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/popular-baby-names
Western Australia (1930 - 2024) - https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-justice/the-registry-of-births-deaths-and-marriages/popular-baby-names
Want to also let you know New South Wales has updated their list with 2024.

Thank you, I have updated the NSW data.
It would be nice to combine different states to create one big Australian list, but...
a) we would need deeper lists (that is, each of the source lists would have to have more than 100 names in order to create a somewhat accurate overall top 100 list)
b) the years would need to align
