Is “Abcde” really a baby name?

alphabet letters
A, b, c, d, e….

Abcde isn’t an urban legend. It’s a real baby name.

In fact, it’s the official first name of hundreds of females in the United States (most of whom were born in Texas specifically).

How many Abcdes are accounted for in the data so far? Here are the numbers:

  • 2013: 16 baby girls named Abcde [9 born in in Texas]
  • 2012: 18 baby girls named Abcde [13 in Texas]
  • 2011: 21 baby girls named Abcde [14 in Texas]
  • 2010: 25 baby girls named Abcde [19 in Texas]
  • 2009: 32 baby girls named Abcde [20 in Texas]
  • 2008: 28 baby girls named Abcde [21 in Texas]
  • 2007: 24 baby girls named Abcde [14 in Texas]
  • 2006: 26 baby girls named Abcde [15 in Texas]
  • 2005: 22 baby girls named Abcde [16 in Texas]
  • 2004: 15 baby girls named Abcde [10 in Texas]
  • 2003: 22 baby girls named Abcde [13 in Texas]
  • 2002: 17 baby girls named Abcde [11 in Texas]
  • 2001: 16 baby girls named Abcde [11 in Texas]
  • 2000: 12 baby girls named Abcde [10 in Texas]
  • 1999: 13 baby girls named Abcde [5 in Texas]
  • 1998: 5 baby girls named Abcde
  • 1997: 5 baby girls named Abcde
  • 1996: unlisted
  • 1995: unlisted
  • 1994: unlisted
  • 1993: unlisted
  • 1992: 6 baby girls named Abcde
  • 1991: unlisted
  • 1990: 5 baby girls named Abcde (debut) [5 in Hawaii]
  • 1989: unlisted

(Keep in mind that the SSA data only includes names used five or more times per gender, per year. So there are undoubtedly other Abcdes out there.)

What do you think of this name?

P.S. This might be random, but a character named Abcd (“Absid”) was featured in the 1984 Pia Zadora movie Voyage of the Rock Aliens. I wonder if the character name had some small influence on expectant parents…?

Update (Dec. 2018): Here’s a new post with graphs of the Abcde data!
