Scotland · Boys
In 2024, Leonidas was ranked #727 and Loki #535 among boys in Scotland.
Leonidas and Loki over time
Leonidas and Loki appear together in 1 published list, across 24 years of shared records. Leonidas held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Loki 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.
Loki reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Leonidas 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.
