Jesse vs Tasmin
Jesse and Tasmincompared 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 2020, Jesse was ranked #2042 and Tasmin #5493 among girls in England and Wales.
Jesse and Tasmin over time
Jesse and Tasmin appear together in 1 published list, across 22 years of shared records. Jesse held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Tasmin 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.
Tasmin reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Jesse 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.
