Up to date UK baby name charts?

[moomin35]

Does anyone know where I can view the current name charts for babys in the UK? Thank you! :-)

The Bounty website is good for this, they also have a baby name app.

Think the national stats for last year come out in August.

Office for national statistics! They have lots of geeky Excel charts you can download.

I can't do a link but it's ons.gov.uk and search for baby names. Yes, they come out in August so you will be looking at 2012 data.

The website names.darkgreener.com is really good for trends too.

ooh that names.darkgreener.com is good thanks isambardo - pity its from 2012 not current though, any idea why its not more up to date?

ONS site here - it has link to geeky tables, as beccajoh mentions above: www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/vsob1/baby-names--england-and-wales/2012/stb-baby-names-2012.html

Moomin - other reliable websites' tables are based on ONS (government) tables, so they can't be any more up to date than ONS. And, as isambardo says, names for previous year are reported by ONS in August. So there's a couple of months to wait for 2013 England and Wales names yet.

In Scotland, things are quicker. Names for 2013 have already been reported: www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/theme/vital-events/births/popular-names/
The Scottish site also has links to data for England and Wales, and Northern Ireland.

User friendly representation of the ONS data, up to date until the last release of data from last August.

The next one containing 2013 data is listed by the ONS as being provisionally due to be released in August/September but they haven't issued an exact date on that yet. Last year it was released mid August.
