The name Bailey for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1995 to 2025.
This page shows the Bailey (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1995 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Bailey was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Bailey's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.
The record for Bailey for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Bailey appears in 30 of them, from 1995 to 2025, with 978 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2006, when the table records 63 babies given the name, at rank 96 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1995 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Bailey for boys 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.
