This page shows the Carol (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2007. Each row below is one year in which Carol 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 Carol'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 Carol for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Carol appears in 28 of them, from 1974 to 2007, with 2,645 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 319 babies given the name, at rank 31 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2007; years in which the table records no row for Carol 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.
