England has been given to 320 babies in the U.S. since 1987. It was used fewer than 5 times in 2025, so it doesn't appear in the latest year's list — today it's a genuinely uncommon pick. Its peak year was 2015, with 19 recorded. It's used for both sexes: 81% girls, 19% boys all-time.

Where England sits on the popularity scale
