This page shows the Shannon (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1976 to 2019. Each row below is one year in which Shannon 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 Shannon'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 Shannon for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Shannon appears in 43 of them, from 1976 to 2019, with 5,241 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1995, when the table records 694 babies given the name, at rank 4 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1976 to 2019; years in which the table records no row for Shannon 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.
