Alice vs Hild
Alice and Hildcompared 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.
Head to head
Ranks are only compared within one published list and one year. Two ranks from different years, from a boys' and a girls' list, or from different registrars are not comparable, so they are not placed side by side.
Norway · Girls
In 1990, Alice was ranked #215 and Hild #655 among girls in Norway.
Alice and Hild over time
Alice and Hild appear together in 1 published list, across 29 years of shared records. Alice held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Hild 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.
Hild reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Alice 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.
