Recorded by 1 registrar between 1999 and 2024, ranked in 24 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,655, first reached in 2019.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 14 births, registered in England and Wales in 2019.

Its record falls into 3 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

Every figure here is counted from the seven official registrars Namewise holds. A position is only ever a place within the list that published it, and a record that thins or stops is a fact about what registrars printed — never about how many children received the name.
