Jamie by the numbers
In 2025, 195 babies in England and Wales were named Jamie. In the US, 790 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 12,900 babies in 1977, so it is a 1970s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1975, about 1 in 350 American babies born that year was called Jamie.
