Dagny and Live over time
Dagny and Live appear together in 1 published list, across 67 years of shared records. Live held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Dagny 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.
Dagny reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Live 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.
