What is not on the Internet: From recipes to lectures on anthropology. There is also a website that deals with everything related to children's names. Recently, this site started a study, the purpose of which was to find out which names are most popular in different countries. Not all countries were included in the sample, but it is noteworthy that among the "subjects" there were states with very different language groups. Not only Slavic, as we understand. So, we analyzed data for eight countries: Russia, Mexico, Chile, Estonia, Slovakia, Argentina, Italy and Switzerland. And you will never guess what name was most popular.Photo:GettyImagesIt turns out that in all eight of these countries, the most popular names are not Katerina, Len, or Liz. But there are variations of these names in almost all languages. Girls in these countries prefer to be called – ta-da! – Sophia. The calculations of overseas researchers are confirmed by data from the capital's registry office. From 1991 to 2009, the most popular girl's name in Moscow was Anastasia. But starting in the 2010s, Nastya gave way to Sofia. By the way, boys are preferred to be called Alexander - here, too, the data coincides with the conclusions of analysts from the babynamewizard.com service.
