ArchivesInformation on German naming trends
For my German coursework I am allowed to feature on a feature of German culture, society and history etc and I am considering doing recent trends in baby naming. I was wondering if anybody could recommend any specific sites or books (as I need to refer all sources to a bibliography). Preferably sites or books in German would be best as I am not allowed to use any sources in English.
Thanks for any help

I think the first try should be the following website:
http://www.beliebte-vornamen.de/
Don't know about books or single articles. My general impression is that not that much is going on regarding trends in German baby naming...
