The name peaked in 1994, when around 3,600 babies were given the name, the 26th most popular that year. It has declined since 1994; the 2025 figure is roughly 5% of its peak. Numbers have been falling in recent years. At least 110,000 babies have been named Jamie in England and Wales since the 1960s. Figures before 1996 are estimates. Common short forms of Jamie include Jimmy. Jamie is also a common short form of James, so many people called Jamie are registered under the longer name.

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.
