In 2025, 21 babies in England and Wales were named Royce. In the US, 720 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Royce was most common in 1935, when it went to 0.03% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
