Jamil vs Jose
Jamil and Josecompared 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 · Boys
In 2024, Jamil was ranked #2443 and Jose #1199 among boys in England and Wales.
Jamil and Jose over time
Jamil and Jose appear together in 1 published list, across 29 years of shared records. Jose held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Jamil 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.
Jamil reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Jose 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.
