The name Aileen for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2006.
This page shows the Aileen (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2006. Each row below is one year in which Aileen was recorded as a first name for girls in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Aileen's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for girls that year.
The record for Aileen for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Aileen appears in 29 of them, from 1974 to 2006, with 993 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 87 babies given the name, at rank 85 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2006; years in which the table records no row for Aileen for girls are simply not listed. The publisher suppresses names with a total count of 2 or less in Scotland, so no figure here stands below 3.
