Is Mick a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Mick has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 95 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Mick: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Mick, and how old are they?
2,120 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 87% of the 2,445 Americans ever recorded as Mick. The median Mick alive today is 33 years old; half are between 16 and 51.
The 2020 Census counted 3,396 people named Mick (130 women and girls, 3,266 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,993 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.7 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Mick rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

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).
Where are babies named Mick born?

| California | 5 | #2,679 | 0.7× |
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ 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 Mick with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
