Here are a few insights based on the provided data for top 100 names in Alaska for births in 2021:

Most Popular Names: The most popular names for boys in Alaska in 2021 were Noah, Oliver, Liam, William, and Wyatt. For girls, the most popular names were Amelia, Hazel, Olivia, Ava, and Charlotte.
Name Diversity: Similar to the Alabama data, there seems to be a greater diversity in names for girls than for boys. For instance, the 50th most popular girl’s name, Claire, was given to 11 newborns, whereas the 50th most popular boy’s name, Beau, was given to 15 newborns.
Nature-Inspired Names: Compared to the list for Alabama, the Alaska list seems to contain more nature-inspired or “outdoorsy” names, which could be reflective of Alaskan culture. Examples include Aurora, Hazel, Juniper, Ember, and River for girls and boys.
Uncommon Names: There are quite a few less common, unique names on the list. For boys, these include Atlas, Atticus, and Ezekiel. For girls, less common names include Freyja, Octavia, and Ember.
Distribution of Names: Similar to the observations for Alabama, the most popular names in Alaska are given to fewer children than in Alabama, which may indicate a smaller population or a greater diversity of names in Alaska.
Classic Names: Classic names like William, James, Emma, and Elizabeth are still popular in Alaska, similar to the trend observed in Alabama.
Number of Names: There are more than 100 boys’ names listed, suggesting that there were more male births or a broader distribution of names among boys than girls.
