Where is the ONS full dataset of baby names?

[JamesJames]

I am looking for the ONS full dataset of baby names (I think 2020 is the latest year for which there's been a release).

I can find the Top 100 names, but not the full dataset. I know I've found it before however. Can anyone direct me to it?

I have found this which may give me what I want: names.darkgreener.com/

But still interested if anyone has the full dataset.

www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/bulletins/babynamesenglandandwales/2020

Jump to section 5, 'baby names data'.

Download the datasets as spreadsheets. They are separated by sex.

Yes OP I’m waiting for the 2021 data too. It usually seems to have been released in the August of the following year but nothing so far this year.The latest data seems to be 2020 released last year. I have a name in mind for my baby due in December so keen to see if it’s risen dramatically in popularity.

Provisional release date for the 2021 names is Oct 2022, but no firm date set yet.

The usual August release date was pushed to the autumn in 2020 due to the pandemic and seems to have become the new normal.

In the meantime the Scottish data is always available much sooner and might be of interest: www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/vital-events/names/babies-first-names/babies-first-names-2021

Precipitous rises and falls in popularity are pretty rare. Naming trends tend to move fairly slowly unless there is a very specific external factor, eg recent leaps for Arya, Luna, Otis, Maeve etc.

Thank you for the replies, which are all very helpful.

I had this issue. Download the dataset (an excel document) and flick through all the different sheets/tabs and you’ll eventually find the full list.

@DotDotDotDotDot it says it's out next week... we will see
