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.

In 2019, Hanne was ranked #5591 and Sienna #24 among girls in England and Wales.
Norway · Girls
In 2025, Hanne was ranked #318 and Sienna #136 among girls in Norway.

Hanne and Sienna over time

Hanne and Sienna appear together in 1 published list, across 20 years of shared records. Sienna held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Hanne 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.

Hanne reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Sienna 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.
