ArchivesRe: Let's collect: also for Mike C's attention
in reply to a message by Perrine
https://www.parent24.com/Pregnant/Baby-names/south-africas-official-most-popular-baby-name-has-been-revealed-20180827 gives the top 10 male and female names for 2017. It also supplies the meanings, as most of the names are from local languages. And, for surname fanciers, the top 10 of them are given as well.
These stats have only recently been made available: I think last year was the first, but maybe not. I find that very encouraging.

Some lists I found: ISRAEL, IRELAND, FRANCE, UK, MOLDOVA, GERMANY
Some of the lists I found. Still looking for all in the original post.
ISRAEL 2015-2016 (Jewish girls only):
https://bloodandfrogs.com/2018/04/101-most-popular-jewish-girls-names-in-israel-in-2016.html
IRELAND 1964-2017 (girls and boys): THANK YOU to m4yb3_daijirou who linked the list in another thread below
https://www.cso.ie/en/interactivezone/visualisationtools/babynamesofireland/
FRANCE 1900-2017 (girls and boys): the French statistics are also on this site here but the site below also lets you see the most popular names by decade and popular names from a newspaper (where posh people post births, so you can see what is popular among them):
http://www.meilleursprenoms.com/prenoms_tendances/tendances_intro.html
UK 1850-2015: they also have lists of combined spellings, hyphenated names etc. Really great site overall!

GERMANY 1890-2017:
https://www.beliebte-vornamen.de/jahrgang
MOLDOVA (unfortunately just the top 100 for both genders and of all times, not per birth year):
