This page shows the Nichola (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2002. Each row below is one year in which Nichola 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 Nichola'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 Nichola for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Nichola appears in 27 of them, from 1974 to 2002, with 766 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1982, when the table records 63 babies given the name, at rank 110 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2002; years in which the table records no row for Nichola 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.
