Ronnie across 5 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.

Ronnie 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.

Where Ronnie is officially recorded

5 official registrars have recorded Ronnie, between 1955 and 2025, in 60 of those 71 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
Norway	1955–1993	30	#239 in 1983
Republic of Ireland	1976–2025	12	#240 in 2024
England and Wales	1996–2025	30	#39 in 2025
Northern Ireland	2010–2024	11	#163 in 2022
Scotland	2024	1	#144 in 2024

Its high point came 42 years earlier in Norway (1983) than in England and Wales (2025).

No registrar recorded it for 6 years after 1958; it appears again in 1965.

What the record shows

Recorded by 5 registrars between 1955 and 2025, ranked in 60 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #39, first reached in 2025.

It held a top-100 place in 13 years, 13 of them consecutive.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 1,285 births, registered in England and Wales in 2021.

1 registrar publishes it in more than one category list, holding a place in each for at least five years — an observation about those lists rather than about the name.

Its record falls into 5 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 6 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1976, and 69 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.

Ronnie 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 2,577 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Ronnie without appearing here.

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.
