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.

Bradley across 5 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.

Bradley by decade in New South Wales, Australia · Boys

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 Bradley is officially recorded

6 official registrars have recorded Bradley, between 1956 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.

Each mark is a year the registrar recorded the name; the diamond is that registrar's highest position. Gaps can mean a year was not published, not that the name went unused.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
New South Wales, Australia	1956–2003	48	#19 in 1976
New Zealand	1973–2005	32	#28 in 1998
Republic of Ireland	1987–2025	33	#130 in 2015
England and Wales	1996–2025	30	#28 in 1997
Northern Ireland	1997–2024	27	#68 in 1998
Scotland	2024	1	#246 in 2024

Its high point came 48 years earlier in New South Wales, Australia (1976) than in Scotland (2024).

What the record shows

Recorded by 6 registrars between 1956 and 2025, ranked in 70 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #19, first reached in 1976.

It held a top-100 place in 55 years, 55 of them consecutive.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 2,745 births, registered in England and Wales in 1997.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1973, and 68 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.
