Ty by the numbers
In 2025, 4 babies in England and Wales were named Ty. In the US, 456 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 the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 2,448 babies in 2005, so it is a 2000s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 2005, about 1 in 870 American boys born that year was called Ty.
