What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 2000 and 2024, ranked in 24 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,177, first reached in 2013.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 29 births, registered in England and Wales in 2013.

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

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.

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.
