The Social Security Administration has recorded 6,394 American births named Storm 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 6,248 are estimated to be alive today.
219 American babies were named Storm in 2025, ranking #2,083 that year.
Storm is rising. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 235 births a year, against 112 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of +111% 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 Storm is a unisex name — 43.6% of the 6,394 Americans given it were girls and 56.4% were boys. It changed hands: since 2017 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 58% girls and 42% 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 6,248 Americans named Storm are alive today — 98% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 21 years old, and half are between 8 and 31.
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.
