Chase Chasidy

Each line is every baby given the name that year, girls and boys added together — the only count that means the same thing for both names. A line breaks where the name fell below five babies in a year — the point at which the SSA stops publishing it — rather than being drawn through a figure nobody published. A single published year in a gap shows as a dot.

Chase has been the commoner name in every year either was published, 1885 to 2025. The lead has never changed hands.

The closest they came was 1978, when Chase had 143 and Chasidy had 72.

A rank is a position within one sex’s list for one year, so the two rank rows are not subtracted from one another and the winning column is not marked on them. The living figure is a life-table estimate, not a count.

Which name is older

Half of the Chasidys alive today are over 34; half the Chases are over 19. That is 15 years between them: two names in use at the same time, worn by two different generations.
