How to read this chart
- A rank is a position in one registrar's list for one year.
- Ranks from different countries are separate scales, so compare shapes, not numbers.
- A rise in rank can be a small change in births, especially far down a list.

Each panel runs 1964 to 2025, top of the panel is #1 on a log scale, with guide lines at #1 and #100. Filled dot: best rank. Open dot: latest rank. Read from 5 official registrars with at least 10 ranked years. Where a registrar publishes separate lists by sex, the better rank for each year is used. A 'meaningful' move is 10 or more places. Lists start in different years, so an earlier first year shows the list is older, not that the name arrived there first, and a best rank in the first years of a list is not compared as a peak. Ranks show position, and cannot show why a name moved.
