Ralph makes a clunky cute vintage choice for a boy, but what about for a girl? It did appear in the US stats in the early half of the 20th-century — likely, at least in some case, due to data entry errors — and it hasn't featured 1990. Still, it has been spotted on 2026 birthday announcements, so watch this space, potentially?
