In 2025, 346 babies in England and Wales were named Lucy. In the US, 4,564 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Lucy was most common in 1880, when it went to 0.61% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
