In 2025, 3,082 babies in England and Wales were named George. In the US, 3,151 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 27,476 in 1921.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, George was most common in 1880, when it went to 4.33% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
