What's the website that tells you how many babies have been registered with that name in the UK each year? I've googled high and low but can't seem to find it.

On phone so can't copy and paste, but try googling "Office for National Statistics baby names"

The Office for National Statistics collect all the data so it should be on their website somewhere.

Thanks I've just looked there but it wasn't that site as ONS only seem to list the top 100, as far as I can see.

The website I found let you search for a name and it would then tell you how many babies had that name for the previous years. It was really interesting!

Darkgreener? That one lets you type in a name and see a graph for the past however many years.

names.darkgreener.com

Don't know if the link will happen automatically as am on my phone, but here's the site I'm thinking of.

The ONS have the full tables. The links are in point 10 'Further information'.

It's not for the UK, though. It is for England & Wales.

There's a spreadsheet with the top 100 etc and tab 6 of the spreadsheet shows all names in order from most popular.
