One bearer’s approximate first-name reading in the club’s official profile. The written aid is retained as printed; it does not establish every family or regional reading.
Recorded English reading, as published. Accents and preferred pronunciations can differ.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Girls | 8 · preliminary | 2475 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation.

| Ireland | 2025 | Girls | 27 | 173 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Girls | 43 | 3517 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
