Abner and Majdcompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.

Abner and Majd over time
Abner and Majd appear together in 1 published list, across 9 years of shared records. Neither was ahead in more lists than the other.
In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
Majd reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Abner in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
