How common

“1 in N” divides by all listed births for that sex. The US list leaves out names given to fewer than 5 babies, and the UK lists leave out names given to 2 or fewer, so the real figure is a little rarer than shown.

Most popular in AL (1.02 per 1,000 boys), MS (0.74 per 1,000 boys), KY (0.49 per 1,000 boys) in 2025.
