The tide so far

about 1 in 110,000 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.

Where	Sex	Latest year	Share	Verdict
US	Boys	2025	about 1 in 110,000	rare
England & Wales	Boys	2025	about 1 in 91,000	rare
Canada	Boys	2025	about 1 in 20,000	rare

On its recent trend, Leonid is likely to keep rising in the US in 2026: about 1 in 100,000 baby boys. Likely range 1 in 69,000 to 1 in 150,000.
