- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Roi went to 34 boys in 2025, but Roy is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 604, which makes it the 457th most-given boys’ name of the year — 2,922 places above the chart.

- Roi34
About 1 boy in 2,828 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 50,238 for Roi itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

What happens to a name after it peaks
The Mead test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Roi's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Mead climbed just as high around 1936, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Mead's path sketches the road Roi is walking now.
Roi sits in the calm middle of the cycle — neither chasing a wave nor sliding off one. Middle-of-the-cycle names age slowly and predictably.
