Emre vs Neo
Emre and Neocompared 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.

Emre and Neo over time
Emre and Neo appear together in 2 published lists, across 48 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.
Neo reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Emre 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.
