In 2025, 51 babies in England and Wales were named Adele. In the US, 344 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 1,030 in 1918.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Adele was most common in 1915, when it went to 0.09% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
