As in previous years, the tables show that girls are given a wider variety of names than boys with 4,643 girls’ names registered compared to 3,628 boys’ names.  Despite the greater number of male births, a smaller range of names were used for boys than for girls.

The list was compiled by the Central Statistics Office.
