Where Raymond is officially recorded
6 official registrars have recorded Raymond, between 1945 and 2025. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Norway | 1945–2008 | 62 | #60 in 1978 |
| New South Wales, Australia | 1952–1991 | 37 | #17 in 1952 |
| New Zealand | 1954–1993 | 38 | #28 in 1955 |
| Republic of Ireland | 1964–2025 | 61 | #29 in 1969 |
| England and Wales | 1996–2025 | 30 | #312 in 1996 |

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.
