In 2025, 59 babies in England and Wales were named Moses. In the US, 618 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Moses was most common in 1880, when it went to 0.09% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
