Lucille by the numbers
In 2025, 9 babies in England and Wales were named Lucille. In the US, 1,197 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 American peak was 7,988 babies in 1920, so it is a 1920s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1915, about 1 in 150 American girls born that year was called Lucille.
