In 2025, 17 babies in England and Wales were named Leroy. In the US, 224 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 3,924 in 1924.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Leroy was most common in 1935, when it went to 0.37% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
