About Chelsea
Chelsea for a boy? Yes — and we've got two maleberry Chelseas to prove it (one of whom even wrote a blog for us about his experience)! Boy Chelseas would more likely be named for the British football team than the old Joni Mitchell song sung by Judy Collins.
Pronounced CHEL-see.
As of October 2026, Chelsea ranked #12510 in US births in 2018 SSA, peaked at #1620 in 1989.
