This page shows the Nicol (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2017. Each row below is one year in which Nicol 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 Nicol'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 Nicol for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Nicol appears in 31 of them, from 1974 to 2017, with 153 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1977, when the table records 11 babies given the name, at rank 163 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2017; years in which the table records no row for Nicol 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.
