📈 2024 trends

• France: return of short names (3-4 letters: Jade, Léa, Lou, Léo, Maël). Strong influence of Mediterranean-sounding names (Tiago, Alma, Sofia).
• USA: dominance of refreshed classics (Olivia, Charlotte, Henry, Theodore). Strong presence of growing Hispanic names (Mateo, Camila, Sofia).
• Spain: high top-5 stability over 5 years (Lucía, Sofía, Hugo, Martín, Mateo). No Anglo hype, still very rooted in traditional Hispanic names.
• Transatlantic convergence: Emma, Sofia, Mia, Lucas, Leo / Léo / Lyo dominate everywhere — signal of globalisation of name tastes, mostly through TV series and pop culture.
