     @kaia Noah, Luka, Finn, weak names! (of course the most popular boys name is a different one, but that one's also boring)

     @lain @kaia do latin-coded bureaucrats and statisticians map Mohammad, Muhammad, etc all to the same name or are they counted separately :cat_look:

     @cell @kaia the latter, that's how they managed to make "Noah" first place.

     @lain @kaia Nuh! (actually never heard anyone named Nuh, meanwhile stuff like Yusuf (Joseph) and Ibrahim (Abraham) are much more common :kaia_think: )

     same here. Noah, Matteo, Leo, Finn, Felix, Luis are very trendy German middle class names.
     
     Ibrahim, Yusuf, Mustafa, Mehmet, Ömer, Ahmet are very common among Turkish minority.
     
     Alexandr, Anatoli, Nicolai, Serhei, Taras are common among Ukrainians. Vladimir probably no longer?

     oh I did not think about this.
     
     also did not consider that Waldemar is related.
     
     > Der Name setzt sich aus den Begriffen wald-a- (urgermanisch für „walten“, „herrschen“) und mǣrja (urgermanisch für „berühmt“, „bekannt“) zusammen. Dabei wird wald-a- wiederum auf die indoeuropäische Wurzel val- zurückgeführt, vgl. lateinisch valere für „stark sein“, „gelten“, „bedeuten“. Und mǣrja soll aus dem Komparativ mē-r zu mē- (indoeuropäisch für „groß“) entstanden sein, vgl. irisch Inis Mór („große Insel“) und deutsch „Meerrettich“ (eigentlich „große Wurzel“).[1]
     
     Somit steht der im germanischen Sprachbereich verwendete Name Waldemar/Valdemar dem im Slawischen verbreiteten Vornamen Wladimir/Vladimir/Wolodymyr etymologisch recht nahe.

     @kaia @lain eh even if they came from the same root the connotations can be wildly different
     
     Tomas and Tomasz give less…favorable connotations as opposed to Thomas to German and English speakers
