Ollie by the numbers

In 2025, 412 babies in England and Wales were named Ollie. In the US, 206 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 975 babies in 1919, so it is a 1910s name that has since fallen a long way.
