It's All About the Babies: Sophia, Noah, Emilia, and Emil Ruled the Name Game in '24
Newborn ranking in the North: Noah, Emilia, and Ida leading the chart - Infants named Noah, Emilia, and Ida lead the charts in northern baby naming trends.
Ready for a roll call of the hottest baby names in '24 for the region of Schleswig-Holstein (let's face it, who isn't)? Well buckle up, because Emilia and Ida share the top spot amongst the girls, while Noah triumphs as the king of the boys! This astonishing revelation comes from the annual analysis done by the Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache (GfdS).
In a second place finish for boys, Henry followed Noah's reign, with Emil a close third. The girls weren't far behind, with Ella and Frieda rounding up the top picks among the fairer sex. Across Germany, Sophia continues to reign supreme for the girls, while Noah holds his throne for the boys.
The GfdS, known for their tireless efforts, have been cranking out an annual list of the most popular baby names in Germany since 1977. They gather data from around 750 local registration offices, totaling nearly 900,000 entries, ensuring the data encompasses almost 92% of all baby names given in Germany for the year '24.

Now, let's stretch our legs and get some context! According to the experts at GfdS, the favorite names across Germany in '24, including Wiesbaden in Hesse, align with the nationwide trend, with no significant differences observed by region. The top favorites nationwide are:
- For the girls: Sophia remains the most popular, followed by Emilia and Emma.
- For the boys: Noah holds the lead, with Matteo (in various spellings) and Leon snapping at his heels.
Apparently, these names are popular due to their pleasant sound, ease of pronunciation, and international recognizability, making them go-to choices in our globalized and multicultural world[2][3].
When it comes to specific regional differences like between Wiesbaden (Hesse) and Schleswig-Holstein, the GfdS hasn't highlighted separate rankings for these specific regions in their publicly available '24 data. Instead, their dataset, encompassing data from 750 registry offices, mainly provides national and some state-level overviews. For example, in Saxony, Mia and Emil reigned supreme, but rather than publishing specific lists for Wiesbaden or Hesse, the GfdS largely represents the overarching national trends[1].
