Dock
Dock in 2025
Dock 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 Dock has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Dock
Dock reached its highest point in 1920, when 128 babies were given the name, ranking 1,163rd that year. Its best-ever ranking was 413th, in 1883.
Across the 146 years of records since 1880, 5,383 babies have been named Dock. Half of them were born before 1921, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Greatest Generation.

That is less than 5% of its 1920 peak — Dock is now a rare name in the United States.
