Elsie-Mae by decade in England and Wales · 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 Elsie-Mae is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Elsie-Mae, between 2006 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	2006–2025	20	#427 in 2022
Northern Ireland	2020	1	#333 in 2020

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 2006 and 2025, ranked in 20 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #333, first reached in 2020.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 99 births, registered in England and Wales in 2022.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2020, and 14 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.

Elsie-Mae 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 Elsie-Mae without appearing here.
