Nnamdi by decade in England and Wales · Boys

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.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1997 and 2024, ranked in 21 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #451, first reached in 2002.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 9 births, registered in England and Wales in 1997.

Its record falls into 6 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2002, and 5 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.

Nnamdi 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 Nnamdi without appearing here.

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