In 2025, 74 babies in England and Wales were named Rocky. In the US, 226 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 910 in 1957.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Rocky was most common in 1955, when it went to 0.04% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
