Trudi 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.

Trudi by decade in England and Wales · Girls

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 Trudi is officially recorded

2 official registrars have recorded Trudi, between 1971 and 2015, in 19 of those 45 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
Republic of Ireland	1971–2007	5	#388 in 1986
England and Wales	1996–2015	15	#1107 in 1999

Its high point came 13 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1986) than in England and Wales (1999).

No registrar recorded it for 13 years after 1972; it appears again in 1986.

What the record shows

Recorded by 2 registrars between 1971 and 2015, ranked in 19 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #388, first reached in 1986.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 18 births, registered in England and Wales in 1999.

Its record falls into 6 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 13 years.

A second registrar first ranked it in 1996, and 25 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.

Trudi 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 Trudi without appearing here.
