In 2025, 165 babies in England and Wales were named Nola. In the US, 374 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Nola was most common in 1895, when it went to 0.04% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
