Ignoring the math mistakes later in the post, I can find no indication from the site I linked that the figures are "per million" babies. The word "million" doesn't appear on that site anywhere. The similar sites I linked to that have only the top names for that year also don't mention the figures are "per million" babies. Where did you see that?

In 2005, there were roughly 4 million babies born in the US, so you can multiply that number by 4 if it's true. Or 2,200 Susans in the country. But I see no proof it is true.
