Names that peaked everywhere at once

Names with a real peak in at least 3 registrars, all falling within 8 years of each other.

The opposite pattern to the names that peaked at different times: several countries reaching their high point together. Peak years are compared, never peak ranks — and each peak must have recorded years either side of it, so the edge of a list is never counted as a high point.

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
