Azeem vs Courtney
Azeem and Courtneycompared 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.
England and Wales · Boys
In 2024, Azeem was ranked #1460 and Courtney #4270 among boys in England and Wales.
Azeem and Courtney over time
Azeem and Courtney appear together in 1 published list, across 26 years of shared records. Azeem held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Courtney 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.
Courtney reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Azeem 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.
