In 2025, 318 babies in England and Wales were named Nina. In the US, 1,009 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 1,888 in 1980.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Nina was most common in 1890, when it went to 0.16% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
