Namewise

Most popular baby names in New Zealand (1958)

The rankings exactly as NZ Department of Internal Affairs published them for 1958. New Zealandpublishes 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 70 complete rankings, from 1954 to 2023. Data sources · Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 International
