In 2025, 83 babies in England and Wales were named Danny. In the US, 583 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 9,095 in 1954.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Danny was most common in 1950, when it went to 0.45% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
