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 2015, Jolanta was ranked #5730 and Mia #9 among girls in England and Wales.
Norway · Girls
In 1992, Jolanta was ranked #506 and Mia #68 among girls in Norway.
Jolanta and Mia over time
Jolanta and Mia appear together in 1 published list, across 34 years of shared records. Jolanta held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Mia 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.
Jolanta reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Mia 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.
