This page shows the Lesley (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2016. Each row below is one year in which Lesley 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 Lesley'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 Lesley for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Lesley appears in 30 of them, from 1974 to 2016, with 3,797 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 341 babies given the name, at rank 24 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2016; years in which the table records no row for Lesley 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.
