📜 Randi Through the Generations
Randi had its biggest year in 1982, when 1,109 babies were given the name in a single year. That kind of peak explains why the age distribution looks the way it does today. A striking 64% of living Randis, around 19,696 people, are between 30 and 60 years old, the generation that came of age around that early-80s high point. Only 13% are under 30, just 4,095 people, which shows how sharply the name has fallen out of favor with newer parents. The over-60 crowd makes up 23%, or about 6,972 people, suggesting the name had some earlier use before it really took off. With roughly 30,763 all-time US births and an estimated 28,688 living today, the gap is small, which makes sense given the average age of just 46. This is a name that belongs almost entirely to living generations, and it sits in an interesting middle ground, not quite classic, not quite modern, but clearly a product of its era.
