Bars are scaled on births a year, which is the figure that compares between decades — a decade the list only partly covers has a smaller total without being a quieter decade. Figures belong to this registrar alone and do not carry to another.

Its highest recorded position is #720, first reached in 2010.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 10 births, registered in England and Wales in 2012.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2010, and 1 year separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

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. Drawn from the 2,573 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Alexandr without appearing here.
