Re: Swedish top 10 for 2016
in reply to a message by Ull
Some surprises on the top 100:Adrian went from 47 to 14. I thought it would stay around 40-60. It's my nephew's name, although he was born during 2015.Viggo went from 48 to 36. I thought we were done with this name? Same goes for Vidar. And I'm quite surprised that Sebastian is at #95, and were at 78 last year. I would have guessed that it would be within top 25.I'm quite surprised by how much popularity Alicia has gained and I can't really see how Vikander would inpact the popularity that much. Alicia hasn't been an unknown name for ages compared to other names used in pop culture that might have been made up or unusual to begin with. Maybe people just got tired with Alice?And WHY did Lovisa o from 58 to 40? It's such a childish name and again, I thought we were done with it. And Maria went from 80 to 57. Must be because of all the immigrants as Maria still is a common name in other parts of the world.And what's up with Linn? From 98 to 78. Cleo and Adele are also surprises, but I blame them on pop culture. Same goes for Penny, but I actually had a bunny born during 2016 who I named Penny. I bet eeeeeveryone who named their daughters Penny during 2016 saw my bunnies IG account. ;-)

Isn't Penny one of the Parnevik daughters? Or maybe people are very much into Big Bang Theory?

Maybe a combination?
One of the other Parnevik daugthers is Philippa, and I see Filippa tied with Penny at place 85. Only Peg is left out...
(I believe that the list combines names pronounced the same to one post with the most common spelling)
