Atlas across 4 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.

Where Atlas is officially recorded

5 official registrars have recorded Atlas, between 2011 and 2025. 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
England and Wales	2011–2025	15	#151 in 2025
Republic of Ireland	2016–2025	4	#329 in 2025
Northern Ireland	2023–2024	2	#395 in 2023
New Zealand	2023	1	#93 in 2023
Scotland	2024	1	#209 in 2024

What the record shows

Recorded by 5 registrars between 2011 and 2025, ranked in 15 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #93, first reached in 2023.

It held a top-100 place in 1 year.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 355 births, registered in England and Wales in 2025.

1 registrar publishes it in more than one category list, holding a place in each for at least five years — an observation about those lists rather than about the name.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2016, and 13 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.

Atlas 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 Atlas 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.
