You asked
Could I please have a copy of the underlying dataset for live births, including all registered birth names for 2022 and 2023 and the location of registration/domicile of Mother.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Our Baby Names in England and Wales release provides the number of the most popular baby names by unitary authority of mothers' residence.
We can explore the creation of a bespoke table to show additional baby names by unitary authority of mother's residence. However, please note names with low counts will need to be suppressed to protect the identity of an individual. This is consistent with the disclosure control methodology used for births and Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA), which makes it a criminal offence for the ONS to disclose information held for statistical purposes that would identify an individual.
Bespoke tabulations are available to order. Please note these services are subject to legal frameworks, resources and agreements of costs in line with our charging policy. Please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk to discuss the provision of bespoke analysis.
