Nixon

Where Nixon comes from

Nixon hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1917
    First appearance
    #3,545 among boys, 6 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1962
    Nixon Kiprotich born
    Kenyan athletics competitor
  3. 1973
    Nixon Perea born
    Colombian association football player
  4. 2017
    Peak, #482
    607 babies named Nixon — more than any year before or since.
  5. 2023
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #882.
