From an article about “weird” Dominican personal names by Isabelia Herrera:

When my mother was pregnant with me, she and my father read La montaña es algo más que una inmensa estepa verde, Omar Cabezas’ personal account of his time living with Sandinista guerrilla revolutionaries in the Cordillera Isabelia, a mountain range in Nicaragua. Today I choose to do justice to the radical provenance of my name, after years of subjecting myself to mispronunciations, ultracorrections, and the bulldozing erasure that accompanies nicknames. […] Because I’m not Izzy or Isa, I’m Isabelia.

From a 2018 article about the Malaysian prime minister’s influence on baby names:

Malaysian Prime Minster Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad is now a source of inspiration for parents looking to name their babies.

The names ‘Tun’ and ‘Mahathir’ are extremely popular, with 4,726 people named Tun and 420 named Mahathir, according to the country’s National Registration Department (NRD).

After reading about Luxembourg’s top baby names of 2014 in the Luxemburger Wort, I searched for earlier baby name articles there and managed to find some info about the top names of 2013:

  • In Luxembourg city, the top girl names were Amy, Emily and Eva, and the top boy names were Luca, Noah and Charel. “Names like Félix, Kevin and Louis were also popular boys names, as well as traditional Luxembourgish names like Tun and Léonie made a comeback in 2013.”
  • In Esch/Alzette, the top boy names were also Noah and Luca.
  • In Ettelbrück, the top girl names were Mia, Emma and Tatiana, and the top boy names were Logan, Pedro and Santiago.

The article didn’t include a list of popular names for the entire country, though.
