Arya vs Liadh
Arya and Liadhcompared 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.
Republic of Ireland · Girls

Arya and Liadh over time
Arya and Liadh appear together in 1 published list, across 14 years of shared records. Arya held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Liadh in 0.
In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
Arya reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Liadh 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.
