Help[Opinions] Swedish top 100 for 2014! (and almost ALL names given to Swedish newborns 2004-2014?!)
Here's the top 10s (with last years rank in brackets) and links to the full lists. :)
New for this year seems to be that Statistics Sweden has given us access to all names that has gotten at least 2 bearers any year 2004-2014?? Previously, we only got to see the names with at least 10 bearers. SO EXCITING! It's here if you want to see it, though I don't quite understand how it works: http://www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se/pxweb/en/ssd/START__BE__BE0001/BE0001T04BAr/?rxid=0a7e872b-0bed-4630-8554-e582f9203d39
GIRLS
1. Elsa (3)
2. Alice (1)
3. Maja (2)
4. Agnes (11)
5. Lilly (12)
6. Olivia (8)
7. Julia (5)
8. Ebba (6)
9. Linnea (17)
10. Molly (15)
Elsa has been top 10 since 2008, but this is the first time it tops the list. Not very surprising! ;) Celine, Lovis, Luna and Elisa are new on the list, and Amelia has returned (last time on the list was in 2006). Josefine (which had been on the list since its initiation in 1989) is out, so is Tove, Vilda, and last years newcomer Melina.

As you can see the top 4 is identical to last year. Dante and Ali have returned to the top 100. Ali was last there in 2012, and Dante in 2009. Tim, which hasd been on the list since its initiation in 1989, is gone, so is last year's newcomer Tor.

I love a lot of these tbh and a lot more on the full lists. I like it more than the American one, I think. But then, that is probably cause there more unusual here.
I gotta say though, Moa made me chuckle. I looked up cause it looks Hawaiian/Polynesian, so to see it means "mom" and is said MOO-ah loooolll

It's not the word we use for mum (which is usually mamma); actually I've never heard "moa" used as a synonym for mum. I would guess it's derived from an old dialectal word for mum, "mora", which sounds more like "moa" in some southern Swedish dialects.
