What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 2003 and 2024, ranked in 22 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,296, first reached in 2007.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 21 births, registered in England and Wales in 2007.

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.

Elektra 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 2,573 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Elektra without appearing here.
