Tony by the numbers
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.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 8,297 babies in 1961, so it is a 1960s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1960, about 1 in 270 American boys born that year was called Tony.
