I wish the axis were of equal length so it was square. Are the bubble sizes the combined number by country? Interesting graph!

you are right it should be square! Probably messes up the perception that it's not. The sizes are the average of the two countries' births per 1000 for each, so it's equally representing the relative commonness of the name in two (unequally size) populations.
