In 2025, 1,160 babies in England and Wales were named Tommy. In the US, 344 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 4,592 in 1947.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Tommy was most common in 1945, when it went to 0.25% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
