Musicmetric – professional music analytics

Pretty unrelated to music, but regularly mining text from hundreds of millions of pages on the web can always show up some interesting stats. We decided to run a text entity extraction to find out the most popular first names in a sample of ¼ of a billion pages.

Below are the results for the top 10:

1. David
2. Maria
3. Michael
4. John
5. Daniel
6. Chris
7. Laura
8. Jose
9. Juan
10. Sarah

Over 100,000 unique first names were detected in total
