Toye 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.

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.
