Girls and boys named Dorie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Dorie, and how old are they?
1,420 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 80% of the 1,771 Americans ever recorded as Dorie. The median Dorie alive today is 58 years old; half are between 46 and 67.
The 2020 Census counted 1,687 people named Dorie (1,612 women and girls, 75 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,489 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% 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.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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).

States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ 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 Dorie with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.

Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 117,261 babies since 1880, Dorie is the third most given (1.5% of them). In 2025 none of their 117 babies recorded by SSA was a Dorie (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
