[Opinions] Re: Released today: Swedish name statistics 2011!
in reply to a message by Malin
Yes, it's kind of weird that they already released the statistics. Maybe they will update it later on.
Anyway, I'm not happy to se August gaining popularity. From #83 to #71 :(
And Ellen is #20 and Astrid is #30 but at least they're both stable.The new names are interesting: Edward, Tage, Hilma, Rut, Sigrid and Victoria. I'm mostly surprised by Rut and Victoria. Victoria seems a bit dated (it was popular in the 80's, if I'm not mstaken) and Rut is just so much old lady that I can't really imagine a baby named Rut.
ETA: Hm...interesting, Tage and Hilma are not in the database.

Maybe the royal wedding brought Victoria to peoples minds? Unlikely but true?
I think Rut is a sweet name. Right there with Tage, Sigrid and Hilma. I'm waiting for Sture to rise in popularity now when Svante and Tage are climbing so high.
