Hi Karen,
It's just a question of taste and time. Have a look at these Top 6 girls' names (2002):
Germany:
1) Marie (Hebrew - French)
2) Sophie (Greek - French)
3) Maria (Hebrew)
4) Anna (Hebrew)
5) Laura (Latin)
6) Lea (Hebrew)
Denmark
1) Sofie (Greek - French - Danish)
2) Emma (German)
3) Julie (Latin - Danish)
4) Laura (Latin)
5) Mathilde (German)
6) Caroline (Old Norse - French - German)
Sweden
1) Emma (German)
2) Elin (Greek - Swedish)
3) Julia (Latin)
4) Hanna (Hebrew)
5) Linnea ("Swedish-Latin")
6) Ida (German)
Names are very international and are getting even more international. On the top 100 list of almost every European country you will find "Mohammad" or "Mohammed" nowadays because of many immigrants from Turkey and Near East.
Regards,
Satu
