Recorded by 1 registrar between 1998 and 2024, ranked in 21 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #2,076, first reached in 2020.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 10 births, registered in England and Wales in 2020.

Its record falls into 4 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 4 years.

Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale, in the same year, by the same registrar — so these are positions that genuinely passed each other, not a similarity judgement.
