Notes:
- The top 100 list is based on an analysis of first names recorded on birth registrations in Northern Ireland.
- Only the first name was used for this analysis, surnames and additional forenames were ignored.
- Different spellings of a name have been treated as separate names.
- Names containing accents have been recorded without those accents, e.g. Séan was recorded as Sean.
- Names of equal rank have been placed in alphabetical order.
