Alice peaked in 1921, when 11,990 babies got the name.
At least 590,106 babies have been given the name since 1880. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Alice by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1900s, when it ranked #17. The largest share of babies named Alice, 35.5%, were born between 1901 and 1927, the Greatest Generation's birth years.
Rank counts both sexes together, among every name SSA recorded that decade; the number under it is births. The 2020s run only to 2025. Generation years follow Pew Research Center, which has not named a generation after 2012.
Where Alice is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alice has been most common in North Dakota (1.9×), Vermont (1.7×), and Rhode Island (1.7×), and least common in Nevada (0.5×).
509,834 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
