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.

Frida and Carl, the No. 1 names of 2023, are now in fifth and second place, respectively.

In the girls’ top 10, Nora replaced Sofia.

In the boys’ top 10, August and Theo replaced Malthe and Valdemar.

And the curious girl name Søs — short for Søster, the Danish word for “sister” — has been on the rise recently:

  • 2024: 138 baby girls named Søs in Denmark
  • 2023: 99 baby girls named Søs in Denmark
  • 2022: 79 baby girls named Søs in Denmark
  • 2021: 43 baby girls named Søs in Denmark
  • 2020: 20 baby girls named Søs in Denmark
  • 2019: 18 baby girls named Søs in Denmark

I can’t account for its trendiness, but I can tell you that the English equivalent, Sis, has never appeared in the U.S. data. (The name Sister has, though.)
