Marjorie peaked in 1921, when 11,229 babies got the name.
At least 274,611 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.
Marjorie by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1920s, when it ranked #42. The largest share of babies named Marjorie, 46.5%, 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 Marjorie is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Marjorie has been most common in Vermont (2.5×), Iowa (2.4×), and South Dakota (2.3×), and least common in Nevada (0.18×).
259,702 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.
