Rocky by the numbers
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.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 910 babies in 1957, so it is a 1950s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1955, about 1 in 2,400 American boys born that year was called Rocky.
