Top Picks for Bavarian Babies in '24: Felix and Sophia reign supreme!
In Bavaria, the monikers Felix and Sophia are currently the most preferred options for new parents when welcoming their little ones. - Most Frequently Chosen Names for Newborns in Bavaria: Felix and Sophia
G'day mates! Here's some hot off the press news about the most trendy baby names in Bavaria in 2024. Spoiler alert: it's all about the Sophias, Emilias, and the Felixes.
Sophia and Sophia's pals, Emilia and Emma, are the names to watch out for among the fairer sex, as they held on tightly to the top spots, practically pirouetting their way to popularity. But there was a bit of a shuffle among the boys. Felix, who had been basking in the glory of the number one spot, lost his title to Leon, who sauntered up to take his place. Maximilian, in typical Austin Powers fashion, swung back onto the scene and moved up to third place.
Now, while Bavarian parents were on the same page as the rest of Germany with their girl picks, they were blazing their own trail with the boys. The trio Noah, Mattheo, and Leon were the national darlings, but our brave Bavarians went their own way, keeping it real with Felix, Leon, and old faithful, Lukas.
By the Sea and in the Countryside
Ah, regional differences, the endless source of intrigue and delight. For instance, over in Bremen, the most popular little girls were named Mila, Lina, and Mia, while the burly boys of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern decided Oskar was the man. Elsewhere, they were going gaga over more unusual monikers, like Lia, which took the number three spot in Brandenburg.
The Name Game in Germany
Now, there's a bit of a hiccup here- there's no official baby name statistics in Germany. But, fear not! The Society for the German Language and charismatic name researcher Knud Bielefeld fight the good fight, compiling the top names of the year. For Bavaria in '23, Knud reported Sophia, Emilia, and Emma as the popular picks for girls. But the boys' list was a different story, with Felix, Leon, and Lukas taking the trophies.
Knud Bielefeld boasts that he keeps track of more than 240,000 birth registrations across Germany, which corresponds to about 36% of all babies. The Society for the German Language, on the other hand, keeps tabs on nearly 900,000 entries from around 750 registry offices, making sure about 91% of all first names given in Germany are accounted for in their records.
