The name Gerald for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2013.
This page shows the Gerald (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2013. Each row below is one year in which Gerald 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 Gerald'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 Gerald for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Gerald appears in 29 of them, from 1974 to 2013, with 541 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1976, when the table records 52 babies given the name, at rank 91 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2013; years in which the table records no row for Gerald 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.
