Doll — unisex name

What the Data Says About Doll

The Social Security Administration has registered 363 babies named Doll between 1895 and 1968, spanning 74 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Doll currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1968. The name reached its historical peak in 1916, when 14 babies received it in a single year. Doll is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 24 additional births since 1893.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Doll performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 95 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Doll shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Doll 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 363 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
