Gwennan vs Martine
Gwennan and Martinecompared 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 2011, Gwennan was ranked #2150 and Martine #4764 among girls in England and Wales.
Gwennan and Martine over time
Gwennan and Martine appear together in 1 published list, across 13 years of shared records. Martine held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Gwennan 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.
Gwennan reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Martine 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.
