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.
Norway · Girls
In 1995, Jacqueline was ranked #634 and Synne #64 among girls in Norway.
Jacqueline and Synne over time
Jacqueline and Synne appear together in 1 published list, across 23 years of shared records. Synne held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Jacqueline 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.
Jacqueline reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Synne 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.
