Is Alfie the most popular A name in the UK? Actually, no. Scotland prefers perennial favourite Alexander, while Northern Ireland favours Biblical Adam.
The table below is a breakdown of the most popular names by letter across the UK.
Scotland and Northern Ireland release seperate statistics, while England and Wales are released together with only a top 100 for each country seperately. So as to include all regional variations, I have added the statistics from the Wales top 100 were there is sufficient data.

Some boxes are blank due to insufficient data. For example, there is only one 'V' name for Northern Ireland, not because that was the only one used, but because all others were of low use and the same rank.
