There are no big surprises in these lists to me, they're very similar to top 10 lists in other Scandinavian countries (and partly in Finland). I'm only wondering of Sahra and Fillip: are they traditional Norwegian variants of Sara(h) and Filip or are they more modern forms? Sahra seems to me like it's got influenced by Zahra.

Yes, I was wondering on that myself, so I checked it. It isn't more than 497 women named Sahra in Norway, based on the numbers of 2015. I think they just count it as the same sound, because Sahra is basically the same name as Sara (which is the most common way to write it in Norway) by the sound.
