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.

Claudine across 2 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.

Claudine by decade in Republic of Ireland · 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 Claudine is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Claudine, between 1969 and 2014, in 28 of those 46 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.

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
Republic of Ireland	1969–2014	22	#232 in 1972
England and Wales	1996–2010	7	#2746 in 2000
Northern Ireland	2000	1	#348 in 2000

Its high point came 28 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1972) than in England and Wales (2000).

No registrar recorded it for 4 years after 2005; it appears again in 2010.

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1969 and 2014, ranked in 28 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #232, first reached in 1972.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 16 births, registered in Republic of Ireland in 1972.

Its record falls into 9 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 4 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1996, and 31 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.

Claudine 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 2,576 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Claudine without appearing here.
