This page shows the Nairn (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Nairn 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 Nairn'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 Nairn for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Nairn appears in 35 of them, from 1974 to 2024, with 338 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2014, when the table records 19 babies given the name, at rank 242 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Nairn 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.
