Recent trend

Roosevelt has been falling: its share of boys born has shrunk over the last 10 years. It now stands at under 1% of its 1905 peak.

Boy or girl?

Over the last 10 years, 23% of children named Roosevelt were recorded as girls and 77% 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.
