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.

And here’s a selection of the uncommon names that were given to just two babies each in Switzerland in 2024:

Rare girl names Rare boy names
Audélia, Berina, Cassia, Dasel, Etna, Fadrina, Galina, Hasti, Ioli, Joaquina, Kokob, Liridona, Maurane, Nilde, Ona, Pelda, Ruena, Sira, Thémis, Verica, Waimea, Xara, Yangtso, ZeenaAtari, Boaz, Célien, Deran, Enoa, Fanuel, Gaspar, Harald, Icaro, Jonte, Keylam, Lisi, Mayeul, Niculin, Onno, Pepe, Rodion, Shukri, Tsering, Urs, Vidar, Wilhelm, Yafiet, Zana

Possible explanations/associations for several of the above:

  • Etna is the name of Europe’s most active volcano, Mount Etna, which is located on the island of Sicily.
  • Fadrina is the feminine form of Fadri, a Romansh name related to Frederick.
  • Liridona is based on the Albanian word liri, meaning “freedom, liberty.”
  • Niculin is a Romansh name related to Nicholas.
  • Waimea is a Hawaiian place-name meaning “reddish water.” (I remember seeing a single baby named Waimea in the 2021 Sonoma rankings, but I didn’t expect to find two babies named Waimea in Switzerland!)

Other Romansh names I noticed in the rankings were the girl name Bigna (given to 12 babies) and the boy names Corsin (10) and Curdin (5).

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

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).
