Cricket — girls' name

What the Data Says About Cricket

The Social Security Administration has registered 630 babies named Cricket between 1950 and 2023, spanning 74 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Cricket currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1982, when 24 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Cricket performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 134 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Cricket shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Cricket in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 630 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
