In 2025, 18 babies in England and Wales were named Tony. In the US, 514 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 8,297 in 1961.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Tony was most common in 1960, when it went to 0.37% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
