Ann-Marie across 3 official records

Each registrar publishes its own list, so these figures are read down a row, never across one. A position in one country is not comparable with a position in another, and Namewise never combines them into a single ranking. The birth counts do not compare across rows either, for a different reason: England and Wales registers roughly thirty times as many births a year as Northern Ireland, so a larger total says which registrar recorded it as much as how widely the name was given.

Ann-Marie by decade in England and Wales · Girls

Births registered with the name in each decade of this one list, with the number of years the list covers in that decade. 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.

Where Ann-Marie is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Ann-Marie, between 1988 and 2023, in 28 of those 36 years. Each registrar publishes for its own population on its own methodology, so the positions below are each one country's own ranking and are not comparable with one another.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
Republic of Ireland	1988–2012	5	#391 in 1992
England and Wales	1996–2023	26	#789 in 1997
Northern Ireland	1998–2000	2	#248 in 2000

No registrar recorded it for 3 years after 1988; it appears again in 1992.

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1988 and 2023, ranked in 28 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #248, first reached in 2000.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 29 births, registered in England and Wales in 1997.

Its record falls into 5 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1996, and 10 years separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

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.

Ann-Marie and the names beside it

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 2,577 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Ann-Marie without appearing here.

Absence from this list does not mean the name isn't genuinely meaningful or widely used — only that Namewise hasn't sourced and reviewed that content yet. Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
