Logan vs Loren
Logan and Lorencompared 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.

In 1999, Logan was ranked #205 and Loren #2097 among boys in England and Wales.
England and Wales · Girls
In 2024, Logan was ranked #3015 and Loren #4192 among girls in England and Wales.
Logan and Loren over time
Logan and Loren appear together in 1 published list, across 28 years of shared records. Logan held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Loren 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.
Loren reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Logan 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.
