When several spellings have been used, I've put both :) 
Marie and Mari are pronounced differently in Norwegian, same with Emilie and Amalie.


Edited to add a few things: 

Visited an old aunt of my dad's today who told us that her newest great grandkid was born on Christmas Eve, a little girl named Rosita. The big brother is named Matheo.

Also, saw a news article about these top names of 2009, and this one guy stated in the discussion forum that because people choose biblical names, they must be a lot more religious than they claim to be. I don't agree with this. I myself is an atheist, but most of the names I like are from the bible. I only know they're from the bible because I'm interested in names, seeing as I've never actually read the bible. I was just wondering what you guys think. Do you think when you choose a biblical name for your child that you have to be religious?
