The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Tommie is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 146 of the 146 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 52,215 American births named Tommie 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 23,370 are estimated to be alive today.
111 American babies were named Tommie in 2025, ranking #3,297 that year.
Tommie is rising. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 85 births a year, against 62 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of +37% 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 Tommie is a unisex name — 34.0% of the 52,215 Americans given it were girls and 66.0% were boys. It changed hands: since 2020 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 57% girls and 43% 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 23,370 Americans named Tommie are alive today — 45% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 66 years old, and half are between 49 and 77.
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.
