The tide so far

  • Peaked in the US in 1889 at #313.
  • Falling over the last five years.
  • In the US records since the data begins in 1880.
  • A comeback: it faded for decades and is rising again.

How common is it?

about 1 in 11,000 baby boys in the published US list for 2025.

In a group of 1,000 children born that year, you would expect to meet fewer than 1. How we work this out.
