Albi vs Boris
Albi and Boriscompared 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.

Albi and Boris over time
Albi and Boris appear together in 1 published list, across 26 years of shared records. Boris held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Albi in 0.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Albi reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Boris 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.
