The name Sheila for girls in Scotland

This page shows the Sheila (girls) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 1993. Each row below is one year in which Sheila 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 Sheila'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 Sheila for girls sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Sheila appears in 20 of them, from 1974 to 1993, with 292 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 36 babies given the name, at rank 144 among all first names for girls that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 1993; years in which the table records no row for Sheila 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.
