Eve by the numbers
In 2025, 159 babies in England and Wales were named Eve. In the US, 727 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
It is used at about the same rate on both sides of the Atlantic.
Its best year in America so far is the most recent one on record, which means it was still climbing when the records end.
At its height, in 2000, about 1 in 4,100 American girls born that year was called Eve.
