Names recorded every year without a break

Names ranked in every single published year of a list across at least 25 years.

Longest-recorded counts years of data and tolerates gaps; this does not. Every year between the first and last is present, which is a stronger and rarer thing to be able to say about a published record.

60 names, selected from the 2,577 names in the catalogue with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon). Based on official statistics from national registrars. Data sources · Methodology
