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.

Eirik and Kristoffer over time
Eirik and Kristoffer appear together in 1 published list, across 80 years of shared records. Eirik held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Kristoffer in 0.

Eirik reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Kristoffer 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.
