Following on from yesterday's post of most popular boys' names by letter in Britain, here is the girls' equivalent. Even more so than the boys, this list shows a lot more regional variation: from Aoife in Northern Ireland, Nia in Wales or Violet in England and Wales.
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 two 'U' names for Scotland, not because they were the only two used, but because all others were of low use and the same rank.
