Speaking of Kevin…Czech journalist Michal Kašpárek (who helped build an app based on Czechia’s baby name data) mentioned Kevin and several other non-Czech names during an interview with Radio Prague International last year. Some quotes:

  • Amélie: “Before the movie Amélie came out in 2001 about one girl a year in the Czech Republic was named Amélie. The year after there [were] 13, out of nowhere, and then the number doubled each year until reaching today’s 180 or so Amélies every year.”
  • Kevin: “Kevin became really popular after Home Alone came out, which was in the ’90s, when American names in general got more popular in the Czech Republic.”
  • Bob: “[O]ur data also shows that the first Bobs were showing up in the 1960s, possibly due to Bob Dylan.”
  • Amy: “There was also a big increase in the name Amy around that time that Amy Winehouse hit it big. That was a trend that didn’t stop after she passed away. Amy is still a really common name, and it hadn’t been before.”

I didn’t post about Czechia’s top baby names of 2023, but here are Czechia’s 2016 rankings.

P.S. Several Czech letters, such as R-with-caron and E-with-caron, don’t render properly on my site. So please imagine that they exist in several of the names above: the girl names Alžbeta, Katerina, and Štepánka, and the boy names Jindrich, Jirí, Matej, Ondrej, Štepán, and Vojtech.

According to Statistics Austria, “12.5% of all newborn girls and 14.6% of all newborn boys were given one of the 10 most popular first names” in 2024.

At the other end of the spectrum are the thousands of names that were given to a single baby each last year. Here’s a selection:

Unique girl namesUnique boy names
Aorta, Beppa, Chisimdi, Desdina, Ekklesia, Febronia, Gustava, Hibat, Ikonija, Jolongi, Krinka, Lhanzey, Mrittika, Notburga, Ofri, Pinia, Rimpy, Songül, Tsvetelina, Uerda, Vanadis, Wranga, Yangtso, ZorjanaAerzu, Benneth, Cvijetin, Daphnis, Encho, Flavio, Gervin, Hanrui, Ireneus, Jandost, Kalsang, Linneo, Menippos, Nikolozi, Osimhen, Peyami, Reie, Shkelzen, Takuto, Utku, Veton, Wenz, Yetkin, Zhihmond

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Aorta — the word for the largest artery in the human body — used as a personal name before.

Notburga was the name of a medieval Austrian saint, and Osimhen may have been inspired by Nigerian soccer player Victor Osimhen.

Finally, here’s a link to Austria’s 2023 rankings, if you’d like to compare.

Rare girl namesRare boy names
Afia, Bitania, Cézan, Dima, Ecaterina, Femke, Gioïa, Hatice, Inês, Jinthe, Kiki, Lies, Maëlyne, Nine, Ombeline, Rho, Suus, Tenzin, Vanina, Yumi, ZelihaAkim, Brieuc, Camil, Deen, Edzio, Foss, Giacomo, Hektor, Ibe, Jimmy, Kenji, Lowenn, Mélyo, Nawfel, Orso, Roger, Stefano, Taïm, Vasile, Yoel, Zeger

Lies (pronounced LEES) is a Dutch diminutive of Elisabeth, Nine (pronounced NEE-nah) is a Frisian short form of Katherine, and Suus is a palindromic Dutch short form of Susanna.

Brieuc may be a reference to the French city of Saint-Brieuc, which was named after a 5th-century Welsh monk called Brioc.

Finally, here are Belgium’s 2023 rankings, if you’d like to compare last year to the year before.
