Top 100 First Baby Names in Scotland in 2023

Did your child’s name made the top 100 Scottish Baby Names in 2023 list?

Come on in and find out!

The National Records of Scotland released their baby names list on the 28th March and it’s always one I LOVE to have a nose at. I like to see where my own children fall on the list and love seeing how popular names change over time (the teacher in me is always curious about this too!).

Did your kids make the list for last year?

I’d love to know where you land on the list or if you are wonderfully unique! (My name hasn’t been on the list for a very long time - showing my age!).

So? Did your family names make this years list?

Or perhaps your at the stage where your needing to find some inspiration in which case I hope I’ve helped out just a little.

In the number one spots, there were 344 Luca’s this year and 274 Isla’s.

By the 99th spot there were 53 boys named Cillian or Fraser. Wonder if there will be a few more Cillian’s next year after his wee Oscar win!!

From the girls shared 99th spot there were 44 Delilah’s, Georgie’s and Madison’s.

So if you’re looking for something a little more unique then it might be worth heading to the end of the list or even checking out the rest of the list which can be found on the National Records for Scotlands website.
