Se

Statistics count the spelling “Se” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure births. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.

Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.

Universe

Definitions sheet, verbatim: « Date of Registration and Date of Occurrence » « These results are based on an analysis of the first names recorded on births registered within the given registration year with the General Register Office, Northern Ireland. » « The analysis is carried out on births to both resident and non-resident mothers registered within the given time period. » Cover sheet: « Data presented in this spreadsheet is final and details first forenames for births registered in Northern Ireland during 2025. »

Rounding

No rounding stated; counts are integers (valueStatus=observed).

Suppression

Definitions sheet, verbatim: « Totals for names with a count of less than 3 have been supressed. » « - indicates a value of zero whereas .. indicates a value of less than 3 » Names published as '..' are emitted with valueStatus "suppressed" and count null; '-' (zero) cells are not emitted, so a year absent for a listed name means NISRA published zero for it, and a name absent from the list entirely was not registered in 1997-2025.

Ranking

Rank as published in Tables 1/2 (and cross-checked against Tables 3/4), preserved verbatim; never recomputed. Definitions sheet: « Names with equal counts have been placed in alphabetical order. » Tied counts share a rank in the published tables (see notes for the observed pattern).
