Dickie first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1916, which makes it about 109 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 69 of the 110 years since. It was last recorded in 1993.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 4,719 American births named Dickie 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 2,418 are estimated to be alive today.
Dickie was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Across the whole record Dickie is mostly a boy’s name — 5.5% of the 4,719 Americans given it were girls and 94.5% were 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 2,418 Americans named Dickie are alive today — 51% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 74 years old, and half are between 65 and 80.
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.
How much more common the name is in each state than across the country as a whole.
