Primarily a boy's name · 99% boys
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Beckham yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Beckham's record is the most broken in these four batches by a distance: recorded in 1902, after which eight of the twelve decades that follow are simply blank, the name vanishing for most of the twentieth century before returning. It has grown 279% over the decade to reach 2,180 births and rank 168 in 2024, both bests, on a cumulative total of 18,397. No namesakes are listed, which is almost comic given that the name's entire American existence is attributable to one footballer who carried it as a surname. That is the structural blind spot in this data: it can only see people whose given name matches, so the single most important figure behind a name like this is invisible by design.
