How many people are named Bobbyjo, and how old are they?
An estimated 152 Americans named Bobbyjo and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (95% of everyone recorded); the median is 49 years old and half are between 44 and 53. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 384 people named Bobbyjo (337 women and girls, 47 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 154 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.5 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
