Is Colie a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Colie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Colie, and how old are they?
An estimated 237 Americans named Colie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (36% of everyone recorded); the median is 46 years old and half are between 19 and 75. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 362 people named Colie (146 women and girls, 216 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 272 born in the U.S. The Census count is 33% above 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.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Colie is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Colie is most over-represented in South Carolina: since 1911 it was given 19.7 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Colie with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 6 names spelled alike, given to 169,193 babies since 1880, Colie is the fifth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 2,194 babies recorded by SSA was a Colie (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
