In 2025, 124 babies in England and Wales were named Darla. In the US, 159 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 2,390 in 1963.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Darla was most common in 1965, when it went to 0.09% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
