Jameson by the numbers
In 2025, 27 babies in England and Wales were named Jameson. In the US, 3,979 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its best year in America so far is the most recent one on record, which means it was still climbing when the records end.
