Places are shared where names tie. The rate is the source's own figure, the share of everyone of that sex in the province.

These lists are full. The source prints at most 5,000 names for one province and sex, and Barcelona reached that limit exactly. So the list stops at a name held by 21 people rather than at the 5 the source gives as its threshold, and the missing percentage above is made up of names that exist and were not printed. Either way the cut lands inside a tie that the source breaks alphabetically, so the last few names here are an accident of the alphabet rather than a fact about Barcelona.

Source: INE, Censo anual de poblacion - frecuencia de nombres por provincia. Residents of Spain counted by the forename they hold, from the annual population census, not by year of birth. This is a count of people alive and living in the province on the census date, whenever they were born, and cannot be compared with the birth figures elsewhere on the site. A name held by fewer than five people in a province is withheld, and the source prints at most 5,000 names per province and sex.
