Can you spot the names that had never been registered with Social Security until 2023, and differentiate them from the names of prescription drugs?
To be designated as a name, it must appear on the US "Baby Names from Social Security Card Applications" from 2023, and must not appear on thast list for any previous years.
Drug names may be generic or proprietary. The drug may or may not be currently on the market in the US. These are names of specific drugs, not pharmaceutical companies.
