Names that emerged late in a list's history

Names first recorded at least 40 years after their published list began, and ranked in at least 10 years since.

Late relative to the list itself rather than to a fixed date. A registrar publishes names above its own threshold, so a first appearance means crossing that threshold — not that the name did not exist before.
