About Cricket
Nickname name from the era of Father Knows Best, though we can see it making something of a comeback, a la Clover and Pippa. Cricket has new potential especially since it has recently been chosen by Busy Philipps. Still, it's one of the quirkier girl names starting with C.
Cricket for boys
Typically used for girls, but Disney Channel show Big City Greens made it wearable for boys as well.
Pronounced KRIK-it.
As of October 2026, Cricket ranked #8988 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2549 in 1962.
