What the record shows

Recorded by 4 registrars between 2001 and 2024, ranked in 11 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #307, first reached in 2005.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 5 births, registered in England and Wales in 2008.

Its record falls into 7 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 4 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2005, and 23 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.
