Baby names statistics for all the countries within the United Kingdom have now been published for 2015. In the United Kingdom baby names statistics are produced by three separate organisations (see sources below). We have combined the results from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to create a baby names UK top 10 for girls and boys. We have done this by looking at the numbers of baby names across all four countries. The result below gives a unique top 10 for the United Kingdom. Some notable observations are: the popularity of James in Scotland and Northern Ireland puts it into the boy's top 10 names, and the popularity of Sophie in Scotland puts it into the girl's top 10 names.
