I'm curious what names would be in the top left and bottom right corners. The intensity of the dots suggests that there's a number of such names.

I've made a list the outliers in this post (not op). It covers more than one year, back 1996, and it's a list if the names with the biggest difference.

On the bottom left are all the names for which there is universal consensus in both Britain and USA that they are considered male. This constitutes the majority of male names, such as John, Mark, Anthony, Matthew etc. which is why it’s so concentrated.

Conversely, on the top right are all the names that both Britain and USA universally consider female.
