I know how to see how popular a certain name is on the ons list but is there anywhere you can see the top 3000 or so names? Certain names I like are at like number 2100 and something but I would like to see other names around that ranking if possible. Thanks!

Tab 6 on the ONS spreadsheet goes way beyond 3,000, it lists every name with 3 or more registrations to scroll through at your leisure.

Are the 3 registrations only first names or does it include middle names - anyone know?

@Lemonlimonade , first names only. "Most popular first names for baby girls and boys in 2024 using birth registration data."

It lists the registered first name, which won't necessarily be the name that is used in daily life. Something like Thomas Christopher will be counted as Thomas not Tom/Tommy/Christopher/Kit.

If you want an idea as to what the most popular middle names are, look for the hyphenated names.
(mainly James, Jay, Lee; Rose, Mae/May, Grace, Rae)
