About Sallie

Sallie ranked highest along with other -ie ending girls' names in the 1800s. It's been downhill since then for Sallie, though she didn't fall off the Top 1000 until 1970.

Last year, only a couple dozen baby girls were named Sallie. The more classic Sally spelling is used more often, but still ranks below the Top 1000.

Still, any form of the name has a vintage charm that might make it ripe for revival.

Sallie is also given to boys.

Pronounced SAL-ee.

As of October 2026, Sallie ranked #4184 in US births in 1952 SSA, peaked at #1038 in 1899.
