About Denise
Denise was a French favorite of the fifties and sixties but is less chic now. In 2020 it broke back into the Top 1000 after a five-year hiatus, catapulted into style by reality TV star Denisse Novoa — but it dropped out again the following year.
Denise is also given to boys.
Pronounced duh-NEES.
As of October 2026, Denise ranked #1677 for girls in US births in 2025 and #12585 for boys in US births in 2021 SSA, peaked at #23 for girls in 1955 and #1018 for boys in 1964.
