About Wonder
Wonder is a lovely quality for a modern virtue name. With ethereal word names like Dream and Love rising fast in the charts, Wonder feels right at home. Australian singer, Sia, used it as a middle name for her third daughter, Somersault Wonder.
What you may be surprised to learn, however, is that Wonder first appeared in the US stats back in 1951 for girls (and 2019 for boys) and has been used in small numbers ever since. The most recent count saw it given 16 babies.
Pronounced WUN-der.
As of October 2026, Wonder ranked #8331 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3906 in 1956.
