The name Fay for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2017.
This page shows the Fay (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2017. Each row below is one year in which Fay 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 Fay'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 Fay for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Fay appears in 27 of them, from 1974 to 2017, with 148 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1976, when the table records 10 babies given the name, at rank 290 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2017; years in which the table records no row for Fay 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.
