Namewise

Most popular baby names in England and Wales (2021)

The rankings exactly as Office for National Statistics published them for 2021. England and Walespublishes a girls' list and a boys' list separately, so they are shown separately — there is no official combined ranking, and Namewise does not invent one.

This source has published 30 complete rankings, from 1996 to 2025. Data sources
