HelpRe: Most popular Swiss names of 2022
in reply to a message by Manipura
I don’t read German so I have no idea if there’s, say, a pop culture association.
Italian-sounding names ending in -a have been popular for a while in Francophone Switzerland but it’s surprising Giulia, rather than Julia has become so popular. Enzo is a character from the popular 1988 movie “Le Grand Bleu”, maybe people who grew up with that movie are using the name?
Sofia doesn’t feel very fresh, it’s hugely popular in Italy as well. I’m puzzled too Liam became so popular, it doesn’t sound particularly well in foreign languages IMHO.

I was kidding about Sophia seeming refreshing...it's only that next to the uniformity of those other 9 names, Sophia's surprisingly a relief (even though it's boring normally, although I do like it).
I noticed Giulia & Enzo were popular in France as well. I guess Giulia could maybe also have been popularized by a movie or celebrity.
