This page shows the Dennis (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2023. Each row below is one year in which Dennis 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 Dennis'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 Dennis for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Dennis appears in 39 of them, from 1974 to 2023, with 275 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1979, when the table records 16 babies given the name, at rank 139 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2023; years in which the table records no row for Dennis 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.
