Baby-name remorse

The number is "usage of (name) per MILLION babies." So, it would be 550 million Susans. A popular name is Ethan, and its #4, with over 5 billion babies born in 2005 with that name. Although 550 million sound like a lot, its only 10% of the number of Ethans.
My son's name has grown in popularity over the last few years, and in 2006 there were ~440 million Miles, ranked 202. Still a lot better than 5 billion.
