The story of Myca

Myca is not currently in use for newborns in the United States: fewer than five babies received the name in 2025. Its story lives in the historical record below.

Since 1975, 339 American babies have been named Myca, about 90% girls and 10% boys, making it a genuinely unisex name. Its peak came in 1999, when 19 newborns received the name, the signature sound of the 1990s.

The chart above shows the full history: the popularity view (births per 1,000 babies) is the honest comparison across generations, since total US births have changed enormously since 1880.
