Hello - I know the Office for National Statistics release stats every year about what people have called their babies. Wanted to have a look and see how popular (or not!) the names we have in mind are, but I can only find the top 100 on the site now... didn't there used to be excel sheets on there that listed all the names? Has anyone used this recently and know the link? Thanks

thanks, was thinking the same

Cool, thanks! I've always wondered where to find them!

I can only see the top 100 on here, does the ONS or anyone else in UK provide data outside top 100? I want to check out less popular names.

The last spreadsheet table has all the names on, except where there was only one use of a name (or was it 2?). Think it's about the 6th tab along when you open the document. You can use the 'find' tool to search through particular names more quickly.

Does anyone know when in the year the statistics are released?

Thanks for the pointer, got frustrated by tab 5!
They come out in July/Aug, for previous year, I believe.

Ah, thanks Smile
