| Metric | Quran | Median boys name (Takari) | #1 boys name (Liam) |

Quran's usage pattern, beyond the headline number
Splitting Quran's full recorded timeline at 1999, 62% of its total births fall in the more recent half of the record versus 38% in the earlier half -- usage has skewed toward the present, not a one-decade spike. Its quietest year on record was 1971, with just 5 recorded births -- worth weighing against the 1997 peak of 89 to see the full range of the name's swing in popularity.
