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, Ishaani was ranked #5891 and Teddy #5891 among girls in England and Wales.

Ishaani and Teddy over time

Ishaani and Teddy appear together in 1 published list, across 11 years of shared records. Teddy held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Ishaani in 0.

In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.

Teddy reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Ishaani 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.
