The Social Security Administration has recorded 6,867 American births named Audie between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 3,644 are estimated to be alive today.

Audie is rising. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 68 births a year, against 41 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of +67% over the decade.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Across the whole record Audie is a unisex name — 35.5% of the 6,867 Americans given it were girls and 64.5% were boys. It changed hands: since 1944 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that. In births since 2016 it is 34% girls and 66% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
Roughly 3,644 Americans named Audie are alive today — 53% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 55 years old, and half are between 17 and 69. That is a wide band, the mark of a name in steady use across generations rather than a passing fashion.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
