This page shows the Deirdre (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 1986. Each row below is one year in which Deirdre 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 Deirdre'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 Deirdre for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Deirdre appears in 9 of them, from 1974 to 1986, with 71 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 18 babies given the name, at rank 213 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 1986; years in which the table records no row for Deirdre 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.
