I always name pets after food. Seems odd to name a pet using a person name. Like here is my cat Steve.
The colors here seem very misleading. At first glance it implies growth rate, but really what you’ve done is just make all the bars in the names with an increasing trend green and all the bars with a decreasing trend red. In many cases, the 2023 number in the red charts is still higher than the 2023 number in the green charts. Next time, maybe calculate the rate of increase/decrease for a more interesting data set.
The fact that each of the small multiples have different scales on the Y-axis is misleading. At first glance, it looks like ARCHIE in 2023 has more occurrences than LUNA in 2015, but it’s not the case in absolute values.
really bad visualization .. the colors are picked without proper explanation, the y-axis do not line up and suggest different outcomes
