In 2025, 83 babies in England and Wales were named Genevieve. In the US, 1,653 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 3,304 in 1918.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Genevieve was most common in 1915, when it went to 0.29% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
