Archie by the numbers
In 2025, 2,465 babies in England and Wales were named Archie. In the US, 156 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 1,110 babies in 1918, so it is a 1910s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1890, about 1 in 540 American boys born that year was called Archie.
