In 2025, 59 babies in England and Wales were named Raymond. In the US, 1,192 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 12,872 in 1924.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Raymond was most common in 1920, when it went to 1.11% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
