What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 2004 and 2024, ranked in 19 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #841, first reached in 2011.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 43 births, registered in England and Wales in 2011.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 2 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.

Lillie-May 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 Lillie-May without appearing here.
