How the numbers stack up
Haskell's all-time total is 10x the median boys name, and Liam still leads by a wide margin.
| Metric | Haskell | Median boys name (Elchonon) | #1 boys name (Liam) |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-time total births | 3,700 | 367 | 358,536 |
| Peak-year births | 104 | 23 | 22,252 |
Haskell's usage pattern, beyond the headline number
Divide Haskell's SSA record in two at 1950 and the more recent half accounts for 23% of all births, the earlier half the remaining 77%, consistent with a name more common in the past than in recent years. Its calmest year was 1883, with only 5 births recorded -- set against the 1919 peak of 104, that's the full swing in one name's fortunes.
