Yes. see http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/

And, just for fun, here's the beggining of
a list of first names that
appear in both lists, with percentage
frequencies from the Census List,

Sorted by the lower of the
two frequencies. Tool skill exercise: do what I
just did.

(these are perhaps the names
that one should be using in gender neutral
linguistic examples).

Of course, these are given names from the census, not
what people really get called.
