Interestingly, France did not reveal precisely how many babies were given each name this time around. Instead, totals were “rounded to the nearest multiple of 5” and ties were listed in alphabetical order.

The girls’ top 100 included Emy (57th), Ella (69th), Jannah (77th), and Judith (94th).

The boys’ top 100 included Timéo (55th), Pablo (75th), Anas (85th), and Lenny (97th).

  3. Leon, Liam, Oliver, Ryan, Theo, and Tommy, 3 each (6-way tie)

The name Jamie was also given to three babies, but my source didn’t include much information on gender, so I don’t know if these three babies were boys, girls, or a mix of both.

The news release made note of two names — Wieslawa (given to 2 baby girls) and Waclaw (given to 3 baby boys) — that were once quite popular, but today are “almost forgotten” (niemal zapomniane) in Poland.

P.S. The Polish letters L-with-a-stroke, Z-with-an-overdot, and S-with-an-accent don’t render properly on my site, so please imagine they exist in several of the above: the girl names Lucja, Róza, Jasmina, and Wieslawa, and the boy names Stanislaw, Mikolaj, Michal, Milosz, Waclaw.
