This page shows the Dane (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1984 to 2006. Each row below is one year in which Dane 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 Dane'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 Dane for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Dane appears in 18 of them, from 1984 to 2006, with 99 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1989, when the table records 12 babies given the name, at rank 183 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1984 to 2006; years in which the table records no row for Dane 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.
