Finland’s top baby names of 2013 were released last week.
According to the country’s Population Register Centre, the most popular baby names last year were Emma and Onni.
Here are Finland’s top 5 girl names and top 5 boy names of 2013:

| 1. Emma (445 baby girls) 2. Aino 3. Aada 4. Venla 5. Sofia | 1. Onni (431 baby boys) 2. Elias 3. Leo 4. Oliver 5. Eetu |
Of the 60,000+ babies were born in Finland last year, over 51,000 were born to Finnish-speaking families and over 3,500 were born to Swedish-speaking families. Here are the top 5 girl names and boy names among Swedish-speaking Finns:
| Girl Names | Boy Names |
|---|---|
| 1. Ellen (32 baby girls) 2. Emma 3. Ida 4. Elin 5. Minea | 1. Emil (57 baby boys) 2. Elias 3. Benjamin 4. Anton 5. Liam |
I wish they’d included a third list — one of popular Sami names! That would’ve been cool to see.
