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 2006, Cecilie was ranked #159 and Connie #592 among girls in Norway.
Cecilie and Connie over time
Cecilie and Connie appear together in 2 published lists, across 60 years of shared records. Neither was ahead in more lists than the other.
In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
Connie reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 2 of those lists, and Cecilie 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.
