In 2025, 1,595 babies in England and Wales were named Jack. In the US, 8,428 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 12,795 in 1927.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Jack was most common in 1930, when it went to 1.10% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
