    What we know about this register

    Abstract of Statistics 2013 (Tables 2.15/2.16, 2011-2013) and 2016 (2014-2016). Footnote: "rankings are based on a minimum of four babies with the same name" and the list is exhaustive at that threshold, so every listed name implies count>=4 (lower-bound binary signal; count=null, rank=published rank). Spellings counted separately. Complements gi-statistics-baby-names.

About this data

Official figures are reproduced from the register named beside them, at the year named beside them, and are never combined across registers. The "across all records" ranking counts records in our own corpus — historical registers, the diaspora, business and place records — and is not a population count. Bearer estimates are omitted where a name accounts for more than a quarter of a country's records, because the estimate is not defensible there. Names listed by reference works and licensed name dictionaries are cited as attesting a name; their figures are not published.
