I'm surprised that Luca, Elias, Jonas, Emma and Leonie made it on the list. I hardly know anyone with those names from my generation Also, no Karl, Rudolf, Joseph, Michael, Elisabeth or Maria? Weird. Anyway, it's the official ranking.
I asked the moderator to move this thread to the World forum (I meant to post it there) because it's not just for Europeans. Anyone is free to respond I love reading about popular names from other countries.

They're not names from our generation though, they're the most popular current baby names (which is what I meant). The next generation in Austria will probably have a lot of Lukases and Annas walking around I noticed a lot of traditional names in your list.
