Show HN: How old is someone named Gertrude? SSA data says 80

Hacker News - Sun, 07/12/2026 - 4:11pm

Hi, I build a website about everything related to names. I focused on two core ideas, verified data sources and a clean UI. The reason I made this website is, pretty much everyone has a name, and at some point, most ppl looks it up. And I want to be the website with definitive information on it which is reliable.

I recently came up with a new feature (as suggested by the title of this post and idea came from FiveThirtyEight form a 2014 article, however I don’t think their tool exists anymore), where you can type your name and it will then tell you a bunch of interesting facts for example the typical age of people with this name, how many of them are alive etc.

All the data comes from open-source data, and aggregated. I would love to put some fun facts here about certain names, but I think its best if you explore for yourself fun facts about your own names. The biggest weakness I feel about this website, is due to my infrastructure to keep it running form free I’m limited on how many pages is can have. So, my pages can run deep with information, but I struggle with breadth, as you would see the website is quite heavy on US data and recently, I’ve been trying to include more.

I would love any feedback on this new feature or the website in general, or anything more you would like to see. Thanks!

Ask HN: Has AI changed the quality of HN posts?

Hacker News - Sun, 07/12/2026 - 3:12pm

I thought AI-generated content would making online discussion worse (which it definitely does on some platforms), but I haven’t noticed a meaningful drop in the quality of Hacker News posts or comments. Have you?
