Below I have compiled the combined spellings for the Top Baby Names in England and Wales, 2010. To make it neater I have just listed the most popular spelling of the name. For example, Rhys ranks higher than the spellings Reece, Reese, Rees etc so 'Rhys' is listed below, however they have all been counted under the name.
The number in brackets shows the names' original ONS rank.

You can compare these 2010 Combined Spelling statistics with the Combined Spellings for Boys 2009.
NOTE: There is a strong trend of hyphen names at the moment (Lucas-James, Charlie-Ray, Tyler-Jake, Brandon-Joe etc) and all these count as separate names in the data. As well as combining the different spellings, I have also taken the first name of each hyphen name and added with the others. So for example, all the Alfie-Jay entries got added to the Alfie count.
