in reply to Extensive List of Names by Gender?
The raw data originally comes from the Social Security Administration, but I am familiar with it because it comes with an R package as a sample dataset to play with.
UPDATE: the link I provided also has some R scripts to download the raw data from SSA and parse it. If you use these scripts, you can specify the dates and which states you want to pull the data from. Also, there is a script to grab the top X names for each sex. This could help you avoid shared name conflicts.
