Update, 5/7: I replaced the original rankings in this post (which mixed firsts and middles) with the rankings above (which is first names only). Thanks, Diane!

This particular list includes both first AND middle names. Marie, for instance, is very popular as a middle name, less so as a first name. If you look at your second source, the one in German, and scroll down, the second list is first names only and the third is middle names only.
Ah! Thank you Diane. Sorry about that. I will come back and revise this sometime in the next few days.
