Berit vs Yvonne
Berit and Yvonnecompared 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 2010, Berit was ranked #550 and Yvonne #470 among girls in Norway.
Berit and Yvonne over time
Berit and Yvonne appear together in 1 published list, across 62 years of shared records. Berit held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Yvonne 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.
Berit reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Yvonne 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.
