This page shows the Jim (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1975 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Jim 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 Jim'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 Jim for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Jim appears in 16 of them, from 1975 to 2024, with 81 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1976, when the table records 9 babies given the name, at rank 182 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1975 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Jim 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.
