Names that reached the top fifty in Norway

Names that reached the top 50 of Norway's published list, but never its top 10.

Scoped to one registrar: Statistics Norway (SSB) — Born Persons by First Name. Excluding the top ten keeps this from repeating that grouping — these are the names that got close to the front of Norway's list without ever leading it.
