Help[Opinions] Popular German names in the from the early 1900's?
So, I'm planning a book set in Germany during WW2.
And I was wondering if any knows popular names from the 1920/1930's for the children, and early 1900's for their parents?
My grandmother is German, and there are a lot of names there, but I don't want to use them on main characters.
Thanks : )

This site is sort of our name charts (it's "all" we've got ;-) ):

If you click on "hit lists for every year", for some reason the language will switch back to German but you can search by year.
Edit: If you want to look at the statistics by decade, there is a column on the right side that reads "Jahrzehnte" (meaning "decades"). For example "1890er Jahre" in this case means the names most popular in the years 1890 to 1899.
Hope this helps.
