Emine vs Logan
Emine and Logancompared 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.
England and Wales · Girls
In 2024, Emine was ranked #4843 and Logan #3015 among girls in England and Wales.
Emine and Logan over time
Emine and Logan appear together in 1 published list, across 29 years of shared records. Logan held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Emine 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.
Emine reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Logan 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.
