In 2025, 9 babies in England and Wales were named Wallace. In the US, 196 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 2,804 in 1923.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Wallace was most common in 1925, when it went to 0.18% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
