What we know about this register
Superintendent Registrar's Annual Statement 2025, section 1.3 "Baby names": a full 10-year grid of the 10 most popular baby names for girls and boys registered in Jersey 2016-2025 (most popular first). RANK-ONLY — re-confirmed 2026-06-28 that NO per-name counts are published and there is no min-count threshold footnote. 200 rows (10 years x 2 sexes x top-10). Earlier statements repeat the same grid, so the 2025 statement is the single canonical source. Checked 2026-08-06 (task #42 sweep) for a live per-name or per-person lookup beyond this rank-only baby-names statement: Jersey's Electoral Register is explicitly NOT available for online self-service lookup — vote.je directs residents to phone/visit their Parish Hall to confirm inclusion, with no web form of any kind (name- or ID-keyed). No new source added; this closes out both the primary and secondary search categories for Jersey.

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.
