Names that peaked in Norway in the 1990s
Names whose highest recorded position in Norway's published list falls in the 1990s, with at least 3 recorded years on each side of that year.
Scoped to one registrar: Statistics Norway (SSB) — Born Persons by First Name. A name can be at its height here a generation before or after it is elsewhere, and this says only when it peaked in Norway — never when it peaked generally, which is not a thing any single source can show.
