[name_m]Germany[/name_m] doesn’t publish official naming statistics, but the most commonly used unofficial ranking came out today. The top 500 first names for 2024 can be found [name_f][/name_f] here[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
So, just to have some fun with the list:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
What would you name a boy and a girl using only Top 20 names?
[name_f][/name_f]
Which pair of names with the same rank makes the best set?
[name_f][/name_f]
Which names with consecutive ranks make the best set?
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] and [name_m]Emil[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lea[/name_f] & [name_m]Oskar[/name_m]! Though I’d probably go with [name_f]Romy[/name_f] & [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] if I were naming my own kids.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f] & [name_f]Nora[/name_f] or [name_f]Stella[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], and [name_m]Leander[/name_m] & [name_m]Lionel[/name_m] or [name_m]Yusef[/name_m] & [name_m]Mahdi[/name_m]
(yay! [name_f]My[/name_f] name made it to the top ten in [name_m]Germany[/name_m] )
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]150: [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] and [name_m]Colin[/name_m] 169: [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]224/225: [name_f]Maira[/name_f] and [name_m]Titus[/name_m] 107/108: [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_m]Benedikt[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] & [name_f]Leni[/name_f] [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] Although I wouldn’t use them together, so if [name_f]Leni[/name_f], then maybe [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] [name_m]Leon[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
I like [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] & [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_f]Katharina[/name_f] & [name_m]Matthias[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Giulia[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] are beautiful together; maybe [name_m]Casper[/name_m] & [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] or [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
Going by an American perspective, though; I can’t say whether some of these feel more dated than others in [name_m]Germany[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] I always love looking at [name_m]German[/name_m] projected lists; the names are beautiful.
Using the Top 20, I’d go with: [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
Fave set(s) that share the same rank: (sorry [name_f][/name_f]- I couldn’t decide! there were too many!)
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] (138) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_m]Florian[/name_m] (145) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] (169) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Runa[/name_f] and [name_m]Taavi[/name_m] (253) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Levke[/name_f] and [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] (275) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Nour[/name_f] and [name_m]Ilja[/name_m] (340) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Amalia[/name_f] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] (36) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Tilda[/name_f] and [name_m]Kilian[/name_m] (56)
[name_f][/name_f]
Fave sets with consecutive ranks:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lani[/name_f] and [name_f]Nour[/name_f] (338-9) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Tilda[/name_f] and [name_m]Merle[/name_m] (56-7) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Emanuel[/name_m] (217-8) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Idris[/name_m] and [name_m]Leif[/name_m] (382-3)
1. Top 20 BG:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] & [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (how are they pronouncing [name_m]Henry[/name_m] in Germany??) [name_f][/name_f]2. Same rank:[name_f][/name_f] I don’t think I have the sanity to read through 1000 names, so I’ll go with [name_f]Frieda[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m], they sound very fun together. [name_f][/name_f]3. Consecutive ranks:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Romy[/name_f] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite set is probably [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_m]Dante[/name_m] (430). However, I think the following pairs are also very interesting:
Marie Mathilda and Henry Oskar #36 Amalia and Raphael stuck out to me most but there are so many good ones.
I couldn’t narrow this down farther and lost track of which numbers these were but here are 7 each for the consecutive number sets:
Cleo and Lotte
Lucy and Amina
Daria and Noemi
Greta and Leona
Fenja and Defne
Cara and Holly
Svea and Vera
Anton and Oskar
Leopold and Benedikt
Sam and Lenny
Elio and Florian
Ivan and Alessio
Stefan and Marcel
Markus and Nikolai
