This page shows the Bowie (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2018 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Bowie 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 Bowie'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 Bowie for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Bowie appears in 8 of them, from 2018 to 2025, with 36 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2025, when the table records 9 babies given the name, at rank 367 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 2018 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Bowie 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.
