Rudolph name frequency in US 1900-2024

Hasty screenshot sorry. Peak was just over 1650 people in the US named Rudolph in 1927.

No sign of a comeback as of 2024. Maybe this is your year.

    Call him Rudy or Olly for short and you're golden. He'll never escape it during Christmas season though.

    Probably around the same time Christmas songs become irrelevant.
