Is France a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record France is a unisex name — 75.4% of the 1,538 Americans given it were girls and 24.6% were boys. It changed hands: since 1919 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 0% girls and 100% 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.
