Claudie in 2025
Claudie was not given to any babies in 2025. The Social Security Administration only publishes a name once at least five babies receive it in a year, so Claudie has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Claudie
Claudie reached its highest point in 1920, when 202 babies were given the name, ranking 892nd that year. Its best-ever ranking was 657th, in 1901.
Across the 146 years of records since 1880, 6,717 babies have been named Claudie. Half of them were born before 1926, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Greatest Generation.
