Recent trend

Infant has been rising: its share of girls born has grown over the last 10 years. It was last recorded in 2024.

Boy or girl?

Over the last 10 years, 50% of children named Infant were recorded as girls and 50% as boys. The file records sex, not a name's gender, and the share is measured over ten years rather than all time, so a name that has changed sides shows where it is now.
