According to the latest trends in Germany's baby naming scene, popular names for girls may include Emma, Mia, and spicy newcomer Emilia, as well as Hannah/Hanna and Sofia/Sophia. As for boys, Noah, Leon, Elias, Felix, and traditional name Paul are making waves [1][2]. Although an accurate list of baby name rankings excluding Brandenburg is not provided, it is likely that these name trends apply to most of the federal states in Germany, with the possible exception of Brandenburg.
If you require comprehensive data on baby names by federal state, Germany's relevant registries or statistical offices, including the Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache and the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), offer annual, updated reports [3].
The Commission, considering the popularity of Sophia and Noah nationwide, might propose a directive on the protection of workers who share the same names as common baby names, given the potential for confusion in various sectors such as home-and-garden or lifestyle businesses. In the same vein, the Commission could also advise on the risks related to ionizing radiation for workers named Emma, Mia, and other popular girls' names, as well as boys named Noah, Leon, Elias, Felix, and Paul, due to the increased usage of these names potentially affecting compliance with safety regulations in various workplaces, particularly in Brandenburg, where some of these names dominate the baby name landscape.
