I was thinking the exact same for Norway! And Ingrid sounds strangely old as well, if you ask me. Ebba also sounds extremely weird as it means to die down in NorwegianHoogstwaarschijnlijk wrote:Really funny to see Wilma so high in Sweden, no one would call their child Wilma in the Netherlands these days
And over here, Vera is an old-fashioned name. (It looks like it's derived from the Latin for "truth" but in fact it comes from the Russian Вера –"faith".) It was very popular as a girl's name in England from the 1900s to the 1920s, but sharply declined in popularity thereafter. Hardly anyone here calls their child Vera now. The youngest Briton with that name that I know of is a friend of mine, who was born in 1947 – and in any case Vera is only her middle name, given to her because that was her mother's name.Aleco wrote:I was thinking the exact same for Norway!

Speaking of months, I wonder why the autumn months are so unpopular as names. October, September, November and December and their local versions.

In Russia, but not too much, only among very religious people, due to its meaning.
