Top 100 First Baby Names in Scotland in 2024

Every year I trawl the depths of the National Records of Scotland to find out which baby names made the top 100 for the previous year.

It’s one of my favourite thinks to nose at because I love a wee statistic (bit of a geek - know that won’t surprise anyone!) I love to see how many of the names I’ve photographed in the past year (there are heaps this year!) are on the list and I love to see where my own boys land on it - they’ve both dropped in the last few years.

So…did your kids make it onto the list? Are your names wonderfully unique?

Or are you having a nose for a current bun in the oven? Eek…that’s a little exciting.

Either way enjoy and I’d love to know where you land.

Well? Where did you’re family all land on the list? My boys have dropped a little and my other half is still there but my name hasn’t been on the list for since 2018…wonder why?! Lol!

Number one for the girls was Olivia with 266 girls in Scotland called Olivia in 2024.

When you get down to the 97th position which is shared between Hazel, Luna, Imogen, Nina and Rowan there were 43 of each of these names last year.

Number one on the boys list, Noah, had a whopping 366!

The 98th spot shared between Louis, Frankie and Robbie had 53 of each name.

In position 209 was the name Atlas! I so love the name and it most definitely is down to the book. Anyone else a fan? There were 20 boys names Atlas in 2024 and I’ll be really surprised if that doesn’t rise next year!
