Names recorded every year in Norway

Names ranked in every published year of Norway's list across at least 20 years, with no gaps.

Scoped to one registrar: Statistics Norway (SSB) — Born Persons by First Name. Unlike the longest-record grouping, a single missing year disqualifies a name here — that is a stronger and rarer thing to be able to say.

60 names, selected from the 2,577 names in the catalogue with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon). Based on official statistics from national registrars. Data sources · Methodology
