What the record shows

Recorded by 1 registrar between 1996 and 2024, ranked in 19 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #1,467, first reached in 2001.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 9 births, registered in England and Wales in 2001.

Its record falls into 8 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 3 years.
