This page shows the Wesley (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1977 to 2024. Each row below is one year in which Wesley 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 Wesley'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 Wesley for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Wesley appears in 25 of them, from 1977 to 2024, with 159 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1977, when the table records 33 babies given the name, at rank 100 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1977 to 2024; years in which the table records no row for Wesley 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.
