About Richie
Richie was once a popular enough nickname for Richard that it made the Top 1000 all by itself, blending in with Ronnie, Reggie, Robbie, and Randy. In the US, it last appeared in the charts back in the 70s, but its still in style in the UK where a recent year saw it rank at the latter end of the charts, alongside Drew, Wilf, and Bobbie.
Richie for boys#1861 US
In the US, it's still out of style, though in the latest count, it was given to around 85 boys, just as it was back in the 90s.
Richie for girls#8760 US
A traditional nickname for Richard, popular in the 60s, Richie joins Scottie and Stevie as "boyish"-nickname-names for girls. Used occasionally in the 20th-century, it re-entered the US charts in 2022 and a recent year saw it given to 12 girls.
Pronounced RICH-ee.
As of October 2026, Richie ranked #1861 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #528 in 1964.
