Okay that is interesting. There are actually multiple sites from Germany as well but they count middle names too so they are awful because EVERYONE'S middle name in Germany is Marie or Sophie so these names end up really high even though Sophie isn't even in the top 20 anymore as just a first name.
I feel like meiji is more accurate because they collect the actually names by some kind of record, I suppose? I mean insurance would want to have a document with the baby's name whereas in surveys people can write what they like.

Clarification on how the other sites collect their data + important note on Tamahiyo example
The data that these sites use for their rankings originate from the names of newborn babies of the customers who use their products and services (1st + 2nd site has a note on that named 調査データ and 調査対象 respectively, the 3rd has a note on data collection below the year choice) so it's not like they pick out respondents asking them what names they like when prompted.
One note that I want to put out that I forgot to do in my original reply is that since 2019, Tamahiyo (the 1st site mentioned) has stopped publishing raw numbers and percentages and it now only has their latest year ranking and last year's for comparison.
