In 2025, 578 babies in England and Wales were named Ophelia. In the US, 760 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Ophelia was most common in 1900, when it went to 0.05% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
