In 2025, 15 babies in England and Wales were named Ford. In the US, 340 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Ford was most common in 1915, when it went to 0.02% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
