According to GfdS business manager Andrea Ewels based in Wiesbaden, the enduring appeal of these names can largely be attributed to their appealing sounds.
Every year since 1977, the GfdS has compiled a list of the most frequently given German first names, drawing upon data from approximately 750 local registration offices. This data represents almost 900,000 entries, encompassing almost 92 percent of all first names given in the country during that year[1].
