At least 17,539 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.
Alyce by decade

Where Alyce is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alyce has been most common in Nebraska (5.3×), North Dakota (4.6×), and South Dakota (3.8×), and least common in Tennessee (0.15×).
11,264 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.
