Toilet-related ER visits in the US

American babies named Luna climbing while toilet-related ER visits decline. Two completely unrelated American counts, on opposite trajectories, sharing a window because the bathroom got safer at the same time the maternity ward got more imaginative about names.

Luna as a baby name climbed from outside the top 500 in 2005 to the top 20 by 2022 as the moon-and-mythology trend, Despicable Me, and a broader rejection of mid-century names lifted it. Toilet-related ER visits in the US declined slightly across the same window as bathroom design improvements (lower surface heights for older adults, grab bars, accessibility codes) reduced per-incident risk. Two completely unrelated lines on opposite trajectories sharing a window because the same eighteen years saw both a baby-name trend ascend and a particular accident category quietly retreat.

One bathroom statistic improved. One name climbed. The decade was uneven about its corrections.
