Popularity:

The U.S. government started tracking names in 1880 and at that time George was among the top 5 most popular names in the country. George remained among the top 10 until the 1940. From that point on, the name slowly declined in frequency. But the decline has never been significant; this named only dropped 10 places in each decade.

However, the decline still continues and George might leave the top 200 in the next decade. Nevertheless, George is timeless and enduring; if even a bit too old-fashioned for this generation.
