Vickey was most popular in 1957, when 402 American babies were given the name — ranking #844 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 5,947 people named Vickey.
Vickey 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 70 of the 110 years since. It was last recorded in 1997.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 5,947 American births named Vickey 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 4,847 are estimated to be alive today.
Vickey 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 Vickey is a girl’s name — 97.7% of the 5,947 Americans given it were girls and 2.3% 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 4,847 Americans named Vickey are alive today — 82% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 67 years old, and half are between 62 and 72. That is a narrow band: Vickey arrived and faded within about a decade rather than staying in steady use.
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.
