Births per year, rank history and how many Yvonnes are alive today.
Yvonne (female), once a common girls' name, is now rarely given to new babies in England and Wales: just 8 in 2025, ranked 3035th. The name peaked in 1954, when around 1,300 babies were given the name, the 38th most popular that year. It has declined since 1954; the 2025 figure is roughly 1% of its peak. At least 41,000 babies have been named Yvonne in England and Wales since 1934. Figures before 1996 are estimates.

If you walk into a room of 100 females, there's roughly an 11% chance that at least one of them will be called Yvonne.

Where this data comes from
Figures from 1996 onwards are the Office for National Statistics' annual baby-name registrations for England and Wales, which record every name given to three or more babies in a year. Figures before 1996 are estimates: the ONS published only top-100 rankings at ten-year intervals back to 1904, so counts for those years are modelled from the rankings, calibrated against Douglas Galbi's long-run research into English name frequencies, and shown with an uncertainty band. Estimates of living bearers combine these birth figures with national life tables and ONS mid-year population estimates.
One limit worth naming: these figures count names as registered at birth. Anyone who changes their name later in life - including trans people, and anyone who adopts a different name by deed poll or simply by use - is not reflected here. Birth registrations record where a name began, not the name a person lives with.
