Lucian vs Renley
Lucian and Renleycompared 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 2025, Lucian was ranked #452 and Renley #379 among boys in England and Wales.
Lucian and Renley over time
Lucian and Renley appear together in 1 published list, across 12 years of shared records. Lucian held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Renley 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.
Lucian reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Renley 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.
