I love [name_f]Julia[/name_f], I can’t believe [name_f]Paula[/name_f] is in the top 50 in Germany! Wow! [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u] are nice for boys, and [name_m]Marlon[/name_m] and [name_u]Florian[/name_u] are fairly unique.

@shealah
To be fair, [name_f]Paula[/name_f] is pronounced differently in Germany. More like Pow-lah ([name_f]Paola[/name_f]) than Paw-lah.
But I was also surprised to see it that high ranked!

4

I love seeing [name_m]Linus[/name_m] in the top 50!

5

So many beautiful names! I have several people named [name_m]Anton[/name_m] in my family tree. I might have to give it another look.

The only shocker for me was [name_f]Marlene[/name_f] … Wow! I can only picture [name_f]Marlene[/name_f] as a woman of 65 or older who restores prairies and has a beautiful organic garden. I can’t picture a baby or a little girl named [name_f]Marlene[/name_f]!

Also: I have friends here in the U.S. who just named their baby boy [name_m]Oskar[/name_m]! I love the name – and, it reflects their heritage.

Outstanding list!

I love…

[name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Elisa[/name_f], [name_f]Milena[/name_f]

[name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u]

I think it’s funny that “[name_u]Max[/name_u]” and “[name_m]Moritz[/name_m]” are so close together on the top boy’s list! lol

8

I’m only surprised to see [name_f]Marie[/name_f] so high up. I live in Germany and I’ve yet to meet a little [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. I wonder if it is because of its frequency as a middle name?

9

[name_m]How[/name_m] is Finja pronounced? like fin-uh? If so, I absolutely love it!

10

@kalaway it pronounced [name_u]Finn[/name_u]-yah

Awesome, totally adding that to my list.
