Use both rank and birth count
Two names can trade places in rank while remaining close in actual births, or have similar ranks with a large difference in recorded births. Review both measures across several years.
Exact spellings remain separate in the source data. If you are comparing a broader name family, repeat the comparison for important variants rather than assuming one spelling represents all forms.
