Haskell sits outside today's top ranks for boys, with 3,700 recorded since 1883.
Social Security Administration records show Haskell recorded 3,700 times among boys since 1883, though it doesn't currently rank among the most-used boys names, peaking in the 1920s. This profile derives year-by-year birth trends, decade totals, and state-level distribution directly from SSA birth-registration files spanning 1883 to 2024.

The verdict
According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, Haskell ranks #2,212 of 45,481 boys' names by all-time recorded births (highest first). 3,700 born since 1883, peaking in the 1920s.

Haskell's 3,700 recorded births place it above 95.13% of the 45,481 boys names in the full SSA archive.
12 jurisdictions carry state-level records, led by Oklahoma.
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.

What to do with Haskell's data
- Haskell's decade-level peak was the 1920s (862 total births); usage has since declined to 40 in the 2020s -- if you're weighing a "classic revival" angle, the trend line argues against it.
- Oklahoma records the most Haskells (557 births) -- see the full state breakdown if geography matters to your decision. Oklahoma names

Two nationwide peer axes for Haskell: closest SSA peak year, and closest first→latest record span. Distinct from the spelling and current-rank neighborhoods above.
Similar peak year (~1919)
Similar record span (~141 yrs)
Peak year is the single SSA year with the most births for that name; record span is first-to-latest year in the national files, not a recommendation or shared origin claim.
