If you’ve got a name that is very rare in the US then it’s possible! Any name that had at least 15 registered births over the last three years in the SSA data is included.

I don’t have a way to check built in right now. But you can look at the 2020 data here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackerb9/ssa-baby-names/re...
If your name is on there it’s probably included in namex.
I could also manually check the data of course but that would require knowing your name :)
