The fact that the Swedish name charts for 1989-1992 seem to have disappeared from the Internet annoyed me, so I decided to make my own, from an old yearbook from school. The students in it should be born in 1989-1991, with a few exceptions born in 1988 and 1992. This might not be entirely representative, as it only includes children from one Swedish town, and includes many immigrants and some exchange students. There were 921 girls and 275 girls names, and 1022 boys and 276 boys names. I chose to list the top 49 for both genders, since that both for girls and boys meant all names used at least 5 times, and I have grouped different spellings that are pronounced the same together. I'll post the more unusual names in a separate post, if you want to see them. :) What do you think?
