The name that stood out to Filipa of the Portuguese baby name blog Nomes e mais Nomes was Aurora, “which entered the top 10 strongly, occupying 7th position, even surpassing Camila, which was the craze of recent years!” Here’s her actual sentence (apologies for my clunky translation):

Mas, este ano, o destaque tem de ir inteiramente para Aurora, que entrou em força no top 10, ocupando a 7.ª posição, chegando a ultrapassar Camila, que era a coqueluche dos últimos anos!
