Where to find current baby name rankings?

[Alwayschangingthings]

Is there somewhere you can search where a name is listed that isn’t just a list of top 10/100 names in the UK? Or where is good to see rough rankings?

ONS has the most up to date data, the latest is from 2022 though.

I like looking at dark greener too as this has all the ons data in a useful graph so you can see change in popularity over time

https://names.darkgreener.com/#

Both these show all names used (have to be used more than 3 times to be included in the dark greener data though) not just top 10/100.

Thanks, darker greene is fab!

Babies' First Names 2023 | National Records of Scotland (nrscotland.gov.uk) is a bit more up-to-date, but only covers Scotland, and the ONS/darkgreener only covers England & Wales.

This one is fascinating: named - Map your surname across the UK (publicprofiler.org)

@KirstenBlest oh that surname one is so much fun!

Thanks. The patterns can be quite random.
I think sometimes it can be something like one person moved area but had several sons, then after many decades or centuries there's a little colony of them in a seemingly unconnected area.

Crikey! Blest is actually a surname! Midlands.
