The name Neill for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1974 to 2008.
This page shows the Neill (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2008. Each row below is one year in which Neill 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 Neill'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 Neill for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Neill appears in 22 of them, from 1974 to 2008, with 163 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1975, when the table records 14 babies given the name, at rank 155 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2008; years in which the table records no row for Neill 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.
