This page shows the Kay (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2009. Each row below is one year in which Kay 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 Kay'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 Kay for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Kay appears in 34 of them, from 1974 to 2009, with 566 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 43 babies given the name, at rank 133 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2009; years in which the table records no row for Kay 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.
