The story in the numbers
1,172 boys have been named Collie in the United States since 1881, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1915, with 35 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 35 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1931, and the 1910s alone account for 18%. It has spent 14 of 145 years in the top 1,000.
Collie is used for both sexes: 23% of its bearers are girls (354), most of them born around 1918.

Other spellings in the data
What this page does not tell you. The Social Security data records how many babies were given a name, not what the name means or where it comes from — so neither do we. Counts cover people with a Social Security number; names given to fewer than five babies in a year are withheld. More on the data.
