In 2025, 1,718 babies in England and Wales were named Harry. In the US, 397 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 9,896 in 1918.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Harry was most common in 1890, when it went to 1.96% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
