This page shows the Nellie (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 2015 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Nellie 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 Nellie'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 Nellie for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Nellie appears in 10 of them, from 2015 to 2025, with 89 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2024, when the table records 16 babies given the name, at rank 230 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 2015 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Nellie 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.
