Diamond by the numbers

In 2025, 14 babies in England and Wales were named Diamond. In the US, 254 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 the US than in England and Wales.

Its American peak was 2,160 babies in 1999, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
