Mary-Jane appears in 2 of the published lists Namewise holds. The longest record is England and Wales · Girls, which has ranked it in 29 years beginning in 1996, and has registered 293 births with the name.

Mary-Jane 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.

Mary-Jane 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 Mary-Jane is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Mary-Jane, between 1996 and 2025, in 29 of those 30 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
England and Wales	1996–2025	29	#1287 in 1997
Northern Ireland	2014	1	#365 in 2014
Republic of Ireland	2016–2020	3	#834 in 2020

Its high point came 23 years earlier in England and Wales (1997) than in Republic of Ireland (2020).

What the record shows

Recorded by 3 registrars between 1996 and 2025, ranked in 29 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #365, first reached in 2014.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 16 births, registered in England and Wales in 2009.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2014, and 20 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.

Absence from this list does not mean the name isn't genuinely meaningful or widely used — only that Namewise hasn't sourced and reviewed that content yet. Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
