The name Rob for boys in Scotland
National Records of Scotland figures for first names given to babies whose births were registered in Scotland, 1989 to 2005.
This page shows the Rob (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1989 to 2005. Each row below is one year in which Rob 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 Rob'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 Rob for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Rob appears in 12 of them, from 1989 to 2005, with 57 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1997, when the table records 10 babies given the name, at rank 226 among all first names for boys that year.
Figures cover every year from 1989 to 2005; years in which the table records no row for Rob 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.
