Names that peaked in Norway in the 2000s

Names whose highest recorded position in Norway's published list falls in the 2000s, 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.

44 names, selected from the 2,573 names in the catalogue with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon). Based on official statistics from national registrars. Data sources · Methodology
