Not on 7 other recordsWhy
  • Not on the record in Puerto Rico, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
  • Not on the South Australia record for 1944 to 2017: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years.
  • Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
