Namewise

Names newly appearing in official records

Names first recorded within the last 12 years of a list that had already been publishing for at least 15 years before they appeared.

New to the published list, which is not the same as new: a registrar publishes names above a threshold, so appearing for the first time means crossing that threshold. The established-list requirement keeps out names that look new only because their source started publishing recently.
