Presenting the most popular names in Norway in 2008:


Boys/girls
1. Lucas / Linnea
2. Mathias / Emma
3. Markus / Sara
4. Emil / Thea
5. Kristian / Nora
6. Jonas / Ida
7. Magnus / Sofie
8. Oliver / Ingrid
9. Tobias / Leah
10. Alexander / Julie
11. Andreas / Hanna
12. Henrik / Mia
13. Daniel / Anna
14. Noah / Maria
15. Adrian / Emilie
16. William / Mathilde
17. Kristoffer / Amalie
18. Sebastian / Vilde
19. Martin / Tuva
20. Jakob / Malin


Many of these names have been in the top for many years straight now, and I'm getting really annoyed at how people give their kids these names willingly. Fine, they're nice enough names, most of them anyway, but why do you want to give your kids names that everybody else have?

I think a lot of these are great, but they aren't common at all where I live (except Sofie, and even then, they're all Sophies), so that's probably why :o)
