Floyd by the numbers
In 2025, 8 babies in England and Wales were named Floyd. In the US, 96 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 3,621 babies in 1926, so it is a 1920s name that has since fallen a long way.
