In 2025, 485 babies in England and Wales were named Robin. In the US, 452 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 15,643 in 1961.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Robin was most common in 1960, when it went to 0.67% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
