Large and frequent movements
Most Volatile Girls’ Names in the UK
Volatility combines the mean absolute year-to-year rank movement with half the standard deviation of those movements. Names need sufficient history, continuity and latest-year births.
UK data on this page covers England and Wales only (ONS); Scotland and Northern Ireland are not included.
