In 2025, 1,360 babies in England and Wales were named Teddy. In the US, 108 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 613 in 1949.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Teddy was most common in 1935, when it went to 0.04% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
