Northern Ireland withholds any name given to fewer than three babies in a year, and publishes separately from England, Wales and Scotland. Change compares 2024 with 2023 in the same country, for the same sex. Data & sources.

Want what changed? Rising and falling names ranks the same records by how many more or fewer children were given each name, with both counts shown.

Looking the other way? Rare baby names ranks the same records from the bottom — the names given to a handful of children in 2024 rather than thousands.
