Guinness — boys' name

What the Data Says About Guinness

The Social Security Administration has registered 24 babies named Guinness between 2000 and 2009, spanning 10 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Guinness currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2009. The name reached its historical peak in 2009, when 9 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Guinness performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 24 births during that ten-year window.

No etymological entry is currently available for Guinness 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 24 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
