This page shows the Colm (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1978 to 2011. Each row below is one year in which Colm 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 Colm'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 Colm for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Colm appears in 14 of them, from 1978 to 2011, with 62 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1999, when the table records 7 babies given the name, at rank 263 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1978 to 2011; years in which the table records no row for Colm 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.
