The story in the numbers
1,217 boys have been named Tiger in the United States since 1962, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 2010, with 130 births.
It is holding steady: its share of births has moved by less than half in either direction over ten years.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 2009, and the 2010s alone account for 33%.
It is overwhelmingly a boy’s name: 62 girls have also been given it, 4.8% of the total.

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.
