What if your favourite is not here?

It means this published top-ten list does not give its count. It does not mean zero births or prove the name is rare. We do not estimate the missing figures.

Exact spelling matches only. Events occurred January–December 2020, with data files received by PSA Civil Registration Service through July 2021. Figures are not adjusted for under-registration. The published lists contain ten names per sex; Joshua and Kyle have equal counts, so array position must not be treated as a unique rank. The PDF prints rank 9 for both. No previous-year rank has been transcribed here.
