Missy by the numbers
In 2025, 10 babies in England and Wales were named Missy. In the US, 6 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 England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 303 babies in 1967, so it is a 1960s name that has since fallen a long way.
