What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1997 and 2024, ranked in 23 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #2,226, first reached in 2001.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 11 births, registered in England and Wales in 2010.

Its record falls into 3 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

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.

Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
