This page shows the Lynsay (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2000. Each row below is one year in which Lynsay 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 Lynsay'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 Lynsay for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Lynsay appears in 27 of them, from 1974 to 2000, with 562 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1985, when the table records 47 babies given the name, at rank 131 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2000; years in which the table records no row for Lynsay 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.
