Ronnie by the numbers
In 2025, 1,281 babies in England and Wales were named Ronnie. In the US, 280 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 6,108 babies in 1947, so it is a 1940s name that has since fallen a long way.
