The name Lynda for girls in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 1997.
This page shows the Lynda (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 1997. Each row below is one year in which Lynda 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 Lynda'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 Lynda for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Lynda appears in 23 of them, from 1974 to 1997, with 662 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 66 babies given the name, at rank 103 among all first names for girls that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 1997; years in which the table records no row for Lynda 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.
