Recorded by 1 registrar between 1997 and 2024, ranked in 21 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #2,390, first reached in 2011.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 8 births, registered in England and Wales in 2011.

Its record falls into 7 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 2 years.
