In 2025, 416 babies in England and Wales were named Winnie. In the US, 257 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 541 in 1919.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Winnie was most common in 1900, when it went to 0.09% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
