Half of everyone given the name was born by 1975, and the 1970s alone account for 31%.
Corby is used for both sexes: 18% of its bearers are girls (303), most of them born around 1954.

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.
