Great lists, thank you!
Yay, Finnish names! Thank you for providing the stats for Swedish speakers, as well.
I like Lilja quite a bit, and see that it has drastically jumped in popularity (joining the Top 25 of the Swedish speakers' baby names as a new name entirely). While Lilia makes more sense in my language, I think Lilja looks better / more dynamic (Sonja is also my favorite variant of Sonia).
Other names on the list that I like:
Olivia (though I sigh at its worldwide popularity)
Venla
Linnea
Ella
Viola
Livia (there will be lots of confusion in schools soon, if it hasn't already arrived)
Minea
Alisa
Frida
Lumi

Oona

Seeing Dina for the "other" list for girls caught me by surprise, because that's quite a dated name in the U.S. And I'm surprised that Vera left the top names for Swedish speakers.
