Some of them are surprising - I've never met a Phoebe or a Freya, or an Amelia for that matter, but I've met a few people called Kate/Katie.

Is this for German-speaking Switzerland only? I see less French-sounding names than I would have expected in the list.

And 18 out of 20 girl names that end in A? That must be a world record! For Quebec, only 7 of the 20 most popular names end with an A. Interesting.

Same goes for Elvis and Rambito. No way those are anywhere near the most popular names in Spain, even for "chavs", lol.
