The name Paula for girls in Scotland

This page shows the Paula (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 2019. Each row below is one year in which Paula 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 Paula'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 Paula for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Paula appears in 41 of them, from 1974 to 2019, with 2,575 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1975, when the table records 170 babies given the name, at rank 54 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 2019; years in which the table records no row for Paula 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.
