Pink — boys' name

What the Data Says About Pink

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,089 babies named Pink between 1880 and 1961, spanning 82 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Pink currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1961. The name reached its historical peak in 1919, when 31 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Pink performed strongest in the 1880s, accumulating 223 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Pink shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 23 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Mississippi and North Carolina. In total, SSA state-level files list Pink in 5 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Pink 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 1,089 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
