The story in the numbers

It is falling: its share of births is 60% or less of what it was ten years ago.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 2007, and the 2010s alone account for 35%.
Britain is used for both sexes: 47% of its bearers are girls (705), most of them born around 2017.

What this page does not tell you. The Social Security data records how many babies were given a name, not what the name means or where it comes from — so neither do we. Counts cover people with a Social Security number; names given to fewer than five babies in a year are withheld. More on the data.
