Name trends in 1538: Parish counts
Name trends shows why a name survives in 1538 under “Parish counts.” The figure beside that is 1880. Do not write a baby-name score as if it were a statute.

Each is a jurisdiction and a year — not a world cup of names.
The well-known baby-name release is for England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate publications. Say which office. Annual given-name frequency information that researchers use to watch Korean naming fashion, including shifts between Sino-Korean and native Korean names in dated years.
Why do names rise and fall together? Lieberson’s A Matter of Taste: parents want distinction inside a style, so endings and neighbours move as clusters. Only if you cite the office and the year after that office has published. Do not invent a live #1 in this atlas’s voice. Sometimes they spike a name (see celebrity-influence). Lieberson argued they are over-credited relative to internal fashion.
