Across five countries, only two names make both top-100 lists
We crossed the girls’ and boys’ lists from the United States, England and Wales, Sweden, Norway, and France. Charlie and Camille are the only names inside both top 100s in the same country.
A name can be widely described as gender-neutral and still sit on only one side of a national top list. Across 999 rows, just two country-name pairs clear the same top-100 cutoff for both lists. Both are French.
Four empty intersections. Two French names.
| Country | Girls’ rows | Boys’ rows | In both top 100s |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States 2025 | 100 | 100 | None |
| England & Wales 2024 | 100 | 100 | None |
| Sweden 2025 | 100 | 100 | None |
| Norway 2025 | 100 | 100 | None |
| France 2024 | 100 | 99 | Charlie #20/#61Camille #68/#64 |
Camille is balanced. Charlie is not.
Camille sits four places apart
Camille ranks #68 on France’s girls’ list and #64 on its boys’ list. That is the smallest rank gap among the two results.
Charlie has wider reach on the girls’ list
Charlie ranks #20 for girls and #61 for boys in France. It clears both cutoffs, but the 41-place gap matters more than a simple “appears on both” label suggests.
The empty countries still contain near misses
Parker lands at #106 for girls and #102 for boys in the United States. Frankie is #101 for girls and #58 for boys in England and Wales. A top-100 rule turns both into non-overlaps, so the cutoff must stay visible.
The next name differs sharply by country.
This measures list overlap—not identity.
For each country we selected the newest year in Luma’s checked-in official snapshot and kept ranks 1–100 in the agencies’ female and male categories. A result requires the same normalized Luma slug on both lists in the same country.
Normalization removes accents. When duplicate source rows share a slug and gender, the best rank is used. No country rank is averaged with another country’s rank.
These are administrative birth-list categories, not a claim about a person’s gender identity or who may use a name. A name outside the top 100 can still be common, familiar, or used across genders.
Source years differ: 2025 for the United States, Sweden, and Norway; 2024 for England and Wales and France. Denmark is excluded because Luma’s checked-in Danish snapshot stops at 50 per list; Germany is excluded because its data is municipal rather than national.
