This page shows the John-James (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1998 to 2021. Each row below is one year in which John-James 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 John-James'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 John-James for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, John-James appears in 10 of them, from 1998 to 2021, with 43 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2017, when the table records 8 babies given the name, at rank 406 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1998 to 2021; years in which the table records no row for John-James 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.
