Tommy by the numbers
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.
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 4,592 babies in 1947, so it is a 1940s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1945, about 1 in 400 American boys born that year was called Tommy.
