Davida 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.

Where Davida is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Davida, between 1970 and 2013, in 10 of those 44 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	1970–1986	7	#396 in 1970
England and Wales	2006–2013	3	#3218 in 2007

Its high point came 37 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1970) than in England and Wales (2007).

No registrar recorded it for 19 years after 1986; it appears again in 2006.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1970 and 2013, ranked in 10 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #396, first reached in 1970.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 6 births, registered in England and Wales in 2007.

Its record falls into 5 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 19 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2006, and 36 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.

Davida 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 Davida without appearing here.
