Is Collie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 1,531 Americans recorded as Collie, 23% are girls and 77% boys. In 2025 it went to 5 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Collie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Collie, and how old are they?
An estimated 408 Americans named Collie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (27% of everyone recorded); the median is 70 years old and half are between 57 and 78. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 542 people named Collie (139 women and girls, 403 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 494 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 4 names spelled alike, given to 156,961 babies since 1880, Collie is the second most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 5 of their 2,014 babies (<1%), again the second most given.
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.
