The tide so far

about 1 in 100,000 baby girls 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.

Where	Sex	Latest year	Share	Verdict
US	Girls	2025	about 1 in 100,000	rare
England & Wales	Girls	2025	about 1 in 16,000	rare
Ireland	Girls	2025	about 1 in 7,000	uncommon

On its recent trend, Kaja is likely to keep rising in the US in 2026: about 1 in 84,000 baby girls. Likely range 1 in 63,000 to 1 in 110,000.
