📜 Tommie Through the Generations

Tommie had its moment in the mid-twentieth century, peaking in 1947 with 989 births in a single year. Over all time, 52,077 Americans were given the name, but only 23,258 are estimated to be living today. That gap tells a quiet story: a large share of everyone ever named Tommie has already passed, and the survivors skew heavily older. A full 81% of living Tommies are over 60, and the average age sits at 81. Just 2,374 are under 30, compared to 42,250 over 60. It's predominantly a male name, though it crossed gender lines more than most classics of its era. The trend today is stable rather than declining, but that's partly because so few new Tommies are being born that there isn't much left to decline. It reads less like a comeback name and more like a quiet holdover from a generation that made it their own.
