Corine in 2025
Corine 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 Corine has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Corine
Corine reached its highest point in 1920, when 376 babies were given the name, ranking 633rd that year. Its best-ever ranking was 481st, in 1901.
Across the 146 years of records since 1880, 14,559 babies have been named Corine. Half of them were born before 1930, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Silent Generation.
