I have released the all the source code for the Baby Name Map under the GNU GPL V3 license. The entire Rails 2.1 project including all the nifty ExtJS 2.1 UI features is available as a free download. I'll be updating this code archive as I make changes to the Baby Name Map.
If you're a web developer with an interest in name statistics and the Rails web framework please download and try out the code for yourself. I welcome any improvements you make to site. Please send any contributions to me via email in standard context diff format. If you have any questions about this open-source project, please feel free to contact me.

I tried to download and gunzip/tar this tarball. I kept getting errors.
What did you use to bundle this app?
Strange. It's just a small (7.5 MB) tarball built using 'tar' and 'gzip' on Mac. I just tested downloading it from my Win XP system at work and it worked fine. I used the Cygwin equivalents to open the file. Perhaps you should try again?
Hi. I had the same problem with on my windows xp. But when i took the file over to my linux box and did:
gunzip file.tar.zip and then
tar -xvf file.tar.zip, it worked fine.
Hope this helps other people.
By the way, what an amazing app! Congrats!
I too had problems downloading it... It seems the download failed 100% of the time.
I was about to log into another machine today and wget it, but the link is bad. Sadly, it also seems you have taken it down off www.babynamemap.com and replaced it with a blog. That is some sweet app and you should have kept it up.
Oh, and the link on the projects page calls on localhost. The link is http://www.babynamemap.com/log/comments.jsp?id=1017
Hope you decide to link it again and I will hopefully get it :)
I'm in the process of an unplanned move from hosting on my Mac to another Linux box. Hopefully should have the site back up in a few days. Few weeks at most.
Great software! Two suggestions I have for features would be
1. list the meanings of each name
2. Show the "rank" number on the popularity graph
