There were 10 babies born in the country with my exact name and fewer than 150 with the most popular variant, so too few to rank without more work on my part to count the rank than I have energy for. This year I went by picking from the names given to 10 babies in 2022 and went with Elani, since my parents had been thinking about the name Elana for me when they were discussing names. For a masculine name, Eliav has the same first initial and is a similar style as my name. My middle name is my mother's last name, so that wouldn't change.

Funnily enough, a variant of my name that seems particularly weird to me was given to 10 babies in 2022. In a way, that is the most accurate 2022 name for me, but my parents never would have spelled it that way. My dad really thought he was picking the most obvious spelling for me. He was wrong, but he also incorrectly though he invented my name.
