I've noticed that the stats on here only go back to 1993, but on the Danish Stats site they publish a Top 50 for boys and girls back to 1985.

I was about to add these missing years, but found that before 1993 the list abruptly reduces to a top 25.

Ah, so it does. I didn't realize. I still think they should be added, but understand if you'd prefer to have a minimum of 50.

It would be nice to have these lists. However, the issue is not with the lists themselves, but with the resulting charts for the individual names. Consider a name that is ranked 26th in Denmark in 1992 (meaning not on the list), then say 40th in 1993. On the name's chart it will appear that it has risen from nowhere to rank 40th, but in fact it is falling in popularity. There are all sorts of other issues that might mislead when trying to chart inconsistent data. At this point I don't have a fix for this, nor do I have a clear vision for how it should be fixed unfortunately.

I hadn't considered that.

All good. :)
