Annie by the numbers
In 2025, 425 babies in England and Wales were named Annie. In the US, 1,087 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 7,474 babies in 1922, so it is a 1920s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1880, about 1 in 78 American girls born that year was called Annie.
