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. Figures are based on registered births in 2023. The optional third value is the previous-year rank printed by PSA, not a previous-year count. Sofia and Zia both have 989 registrations: preserve the tie rather than deriving different ranks from array positions. These are published top-ten lists, not complete name-frequency distributions.
