Camilla and Jacinthacompared 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.

Republic of Ireland · Girls
In 1990, Camilla was ranked #517 and Jacintha #446 among girls in Republic of Ireland.
Camilla and Jacintha over time
Camilla and Jacintha appear together in 1 published list, across 18 years of shared records. Jacintha held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Camilla 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.
Camilla reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Jacintha 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.
