This page shows the Jay (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1975 to 2008. Each row below is one year in which Jay 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 Jay'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 Jay for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Jay appears in 28 of them, from 1975 to 2008, with 184 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1992, when the table records 13 babies given the name, at rank 288 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1975 to 2008; years in which the table records no row for Jay 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.
