Recently, they took a look at their data from 2021 to chart the most popular baby names (according to their visitors' searches) in 25 different countries.
Some of what they found makes a lot of sense. For example, Ghana's list has Abena, Akosua, and Kofi, which are Akan day names, traditionally given to babies born on a particular day of the week. But the popularity of other names, like Danger, which was searched a lot by Indian and Pakistani readers, is a little more mystifying!
With no further ado, here are the names Nameberry's international readers are searching for the most in 2021:
1. Australia
Girl Names
1. Luna
2. Isla
3. Aurora
4. Mia
5. Maeve
Boy Names
1. Arlo
2. Hugo
3. Oscar
4. Leo
5. Theodore

Well, at least the top boy’s name isn’t Muhammad... yet.
Any European country
1. Muhammad
LOL. “Arlo.”
it beats Cosmo..
I think we’re being punked.
Are these the actual top choices gor the countries listed? Lots of overlap. Luna & Arlo?
What happened to Bruce?
Just an observation that may speak to the global turning to paganism, there are far fewer traditional Judeo-Christian names than I would have expected, even what could be regarded as the more Christianized countries (”Lucifer,” appeared in the top five in Poland!?!?!)
No body names their kid Beaver anymore.
You ever notice there are no Chinese kids named “Rusty”?
This is a very cool map of children names in the US since the early 1900s.

Oh I dont know why people are so hard on the beaver
I live within walking distance of Choctaw HS. They have a tradition of putting the names of their teams players, football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, etc, on campaign-like signs in the median on game days. I try and read them as I pass on way to and from work. Since it’s a school zone 20 mph. Some of the names are really strange and obviously made up. Hardly and Mikes or Jims, or Billys or Deborahs or Janices........... none at all.............
I had a dog named Arlo, so named because that’s what he called himself.
Roscoe, that’s a good dogs name...
Too funny. Thanks for the laugh FRiend.
Arlo, not unusual for Australia, always liked, The Seekers.
It is hard to believe the consistency of names especially among eastern and western countries.
