Somtochukwu across 2 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.

Somtochukwu 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.

Recorded by 2 registrars between 2005 and 2024, ranked in 16 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #493, first reached in 2006.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 15 births, registered in England and Wales in 2024.

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

A second registrar first ranked it in 2006, and 1 year separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

Somtochukwu 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 Somtochukwu without appearing here.
