Liam was in the top 20, but not anymore. (not Finn like I wrote before)

---

I personally dislike that Noah is getting so popular. I like Noa for a girl way better and I think it's not very practical to have both Noa and Noah so popular at the some time. That might give some confusion in classrooms in a few years :P

---

Julia and Julian are the only names with more than two syllables. I like the style of short, clear and simple names.

---

I hate to see Tess so popular, because I like it, but I'm sure that now I won't consider using it anymore. On the other hand I'm glad so many girls got a nice name :)

---

I'm very pleased to see Sarah dropped out of the top 20, because having Saar, Sara AND Sarah in the top 20 last year was too much I think.

---

I like Jesse, Ruben, Max, Tess, Isa and Noa best.
