ArchivesTop 100 or more list of popular names in Germany
Does anyone know a site where it has more than the top 10 in Germany? I know a name that is suppose to be popular there but not in the top ten so maybe it is like twelve. So does anyone have a link? Thanks

The situation about name hitparades in Germany is a little complicated:
The "official" hitparade is compiled by the GfdS (Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache) who explicitely decided against making the names beyond rank 10 freely available. You can buy the full list of the top 200 names for 5 Euro here:
http://www.gfds.de/index.php?id=63
(Probably somewhat difficult if you don't speak German...)
There is somebody who compiles something like an unofficial hitparade here:
http://www.beliebte-vornamen.de/
There is nothing for German names that even comes close to the statistics that the SSA collects in the US.
