Eddie by the numbers
In 2025, 225 babies in England and Wales were named Eddie. In the US, 358 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 4,456 babies in 1947, so it is a 1940s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1910, about 1 in 350 American boys born that year was called Eddie.
