What the Data Says About Racer

The Social Security Administration has registered 103 babies named Racer between 2004 and 2019, spanning 16 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Racer currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2019. The name reached its historical peak in 2007, when 14 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Racer performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 64 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Racer shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Racer 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 103 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
