Ann and Krystynacompared 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.

Ann and Krystyna over time
Ann and Krystyna appear together in 2 published lists, across 39 years of shared records. Ann held the stronger position in more years in 2 of them, Krystyna in 0.
In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
Krystyna reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Ann 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.
