The name Darryl for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2018.
This page shows the Darryl (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2018. Each row below is one year in which Darryl 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 Darryl'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 Darryl for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Darryl appears in 41 of them, from 1974 to 2018, with 435 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1992, when the table records 42 babies given the name, at rank 118 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2018; years in which the table records no row for Darryl 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.
