Top 100 First Baby Names in Scotland in 2025

Here we are again!!

This is my 6th year of releasing this blog and embarrassingly it’s the only blog post I’ve completed since last years.

It’s the one thing I look forward to having a nose at every year and I love checking off the baby names I’ve had in the studio. I’ve definitely seen a few beautifully unique names come to me over the years that haven’t made it to the list.

Thanks, as always go to the National Records of Scotland - they do all the actual work, and then they torture me by putting it all into a spreadsheet. I don’t think anyone hates a spreadsheet as much as I do!

So come and have a wee nose…did your kids make it onto the list? Are your names wonderfully unique? Is your own name on here or are you now out of fashion? I don’t think I was ever in fashion so I’m not expecting any change there! Lol!

Or are you needing some name inspiration for your own little bun?

Either way enjoy! I’d love to know where you land.

So where are you and your family on the list this year? There’s a few brand new names on the top 100 this year and a couple I have no idea how to pronounce!

This year we have 268 Freya’s in the number one position for the girls. Love the name Freya!

In the 100th this year there were 44 babies names Darcy, Billie, Lilah and Lucia.

Number one on the boys list, Noah, is unchanged from last year but it has dropped in numbers. There were 318 Noah’s born in 2025.

The 98th spot shared between Louis, Frankie and Robbie had 53 of each name.

I thought Atlas would rise this year but the book must have fallen out of favour as he hasn’t made it onto the list this year.

We had a wee giggle at Henry and Murray sharing a spot too as that’s my other half and his Dad’s names.

Anyway, have fun with it! Let me know where you landed!
