Is Vick a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Vick: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Vick, and how old are they?
An estimated 327 Americans named Vick and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (54% of everyone recorded); the median is 63 years old and half are between 53 and 73. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,033 people named Vick (297 women and girls, 736 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 362 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.9 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
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).

Of these 3 names spelled alike, given to 4,532 babies since 1880, Vick is the third most given (13% of them).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
