Official list of birth names... anyone have any ideas for finding one please?

[mumeroo]

Anyone know how to find out a list of babies names for a particular year? Interested to see what made it on there apart from all the most popular...Thanks

The Government's statistics website?

here

Try www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/publications-and-data/popular-names/the-most-popular-names-in-sco tland-2007/popular-names-2007-detailed-tables.html for Scotland. No idea where to find the names for anywhere else!

thanks for that - will have a look.

ah, i was interested in tracking how many Grace and Elisa's had been born in 2006 but these won't help me... perhaps there aren't any definitive sites for these things.

Do you mean 2007?

Grace 4407

Elisa 59

bounty website do it too I think

And just in case you did mean 2006..

Grace 4438

Elisa 61

So although Grace moved up a place to number 1, the amount actually decreased.

Bounty just relates to people who register with them, and includes Scotland too.

Look at the last post on this thread for the amounts of births. boards.babycentre.co.uk/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=bcUKBabyNames&tid=6263

i don't know how accurate they are but www.babynamesworld.com/ has graphs when you look up names

thanks for that...and I did mean 2006 - ta Pen74
