Thanks for sharing these lists! Too bad they're not releasing the whole Top 100, that would be more interesting.
I'm surprised to see Adéla rank at #3. It already feels dated to the 90s / early 00s so I'd think parents would be tired of it. Same with Lukáš, that feels even older (but maybe it's rising because Lucas is getting popular worldwide).
I'd guess Laura would rank higher, I hear it everywhere.
Nice to see Martin back in Top 10, I love it though it's so common.
My favorites are Anna, Tereza, Viktorie, Kristýna, Jan, Tomáš, Martin, David, Michal and Štěpán (the one I'd use are Anna, Tomáš, Martin and Štěpán).

I'm Polish, so it's interesting to compare trends with my neighbours. I'm surprised to see Nela rank so high, it feels very much like a nickname to me. And I'm soooo bored of Jakub. I never saw the appeal, it sounds boorish. Vojtěch is a surprise - Wojciech is considered quite dated here, I only know one who's around my age.

Right? I agree with Nela––I feel like it's a silly name, like from a few nursery rhymes. And definitely sounds like a nickname.
Vojtěch also seems a little dated to me, but I guess people are using it again? But rn the names that are considered waaay more dated in the CZ are like Rostislav, Vítěslav, Jaromír. I don't even think anyone is naming kids Cyril either (might be because of the holiday)

I'm Czech. I would like prefer old-fashioned names, like Vlastislav, Drahomíra, Rostislav (I luv him ever).
