Rosie peaked in 1927, when 1,581 babies got the name.
At least 86,026 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.
Rosie by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1900s, when it ranked #181. The largest share of babies named Rosie, 29.7%, 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 Rosie is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rosie has been most common in Mississippi (12×), Arkansas (5.2×), and Alabama (4.9×), and least common in Connecticut (0.05×).
71,849 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.
