[Facts] Questions on popularity lists
I was browsing various lists and came across the following names that aren't in the database. I was curious as to them.Croía - Ireland, f
Vilgot - Sweden, M
I'm also curious about Turkish names having so many double name combos in their list. How does this work?

You can find Croía and Vilgot in the user-submitted database:https://www.behindthename.com/name/croi10a/submitted

Whether or not double names appear on a country's lists depends on who is compiling the data. For example, in the US the SSA removes hyphens and spaces from the data, so that Julie-Anne, Julie Anne, and Julieanne are counted as a single entry. The Turkish data does not remove spaces. Double names are evidently quite common there. You can also see double names on the Spanish and Mexican popularity lists.
