In 2025, 44 babies in England and Wales were named Louise. In the US, 336 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 9,180 in 1921.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Louise was most common in 1910, when it went to 0.82% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
