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.

Idaho’s annual report also includes a small section entitled “Selected Unique Baby Names, Yewneek Baybee Spellings.” Here are all of the single-use names highlighted in the 2012 report:

Unique girl namesUnique boy names
Alixathymia, Aunastasha, Beloved, Blessing, Britannica, Burdyn, Challyss, Echkoe, Exodus, Harlequinn, Idalyz, Killary, Lulubell, Lyrica, Mercy, Miracle, Mystic, Noble, Oasis, Pearadice, Savvy, Secret, Sunshyne, Theory, VersaillesAdamant, Arsin, Awesome, Cactus, Captain, Chipper, Cross, Denym, Dually, Dynamic, Falchion, Glacier, Kasteel, Kazys, Krozlee, Lock, Mehdiullah, Mogley, Natavious, Nyte, Peregrin, Pilot, Torque, Truce, Wild

A few thoughts…

  • A falchion is a type of sword. (Do they talk about falchions in Game of Thrones?)
  • I spotted another baby named Glacier in Quebec several years ago.
  • Killary would make a fantastic roller derby name! (So would the American Gladiator name Hellga.)

And, since I never wrote about the Idaho baby names of 2011, I’ll throw in the unique names from that year as well:

Unique girl names (2011)Unique boy names (2011)
