Names returning after an absence

Names absent from a published list for at least 4 years, then recorded again within the last 10 years of that record.

Absence here means absence from the published list — a registrar publishing a top-100 drops a name at #101. That is a fact about the list, not about the births, and the page says so for every entry.

60 names, selected from the 2,573 names in the catalogue with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon). Based on official statistics from national registrars. Data sources · Methodology
