Amy and Matheacompared 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

England and Wales · Girls
In 2022, Amy was ranked #336 and Mathea #5669 among girls in England and Wales.
Amy and Mathea over time
Amy and Mathea appear together in 1 published list, across 30 years of shared records. Mathea held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Amy 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.
Amy reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Mathea 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.
