In 2025, 1,344 babies in England and Wales were named Thomas. In the US, 7,142 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 48,655 in 1952.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Thomas was most common in 1950, when it went to 2.51% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
