We finally know the 20 first names given the most in 2023, to young Toulouse residents .And there were some major changes among the boys and girls with new names, exits and above all, unexpected first places, thus sweeping away the unbeatable Gabriel and Louise. So, do your children's first names still appear in this official list revealed by Toulouse town hall?
Upheaval among the boys: Gabriel lost his first place!< /h2>
While Gabriel had held first place for several consecutive years, in 2023, he finds himself... third! This year and for the first time, it is Adam who takes the lead in this survey, while he was fourth in 2022. What follows is the traditional trio Léo, Gabriel and Louis (second in 2022 and now fourth), then Raphaël, Arthur, Noah, Jules, Maël, Mohamed, Isaac, Liam, Gaspard, Eden, Antoine, Léon, Paul, Gabin, Aaron and Marceau /strong>.
Hugo and Lucas have therefore disappeared from this very select top, while Léon and Paul have not regained their place in the Top 10 (but in the Top 20), unlike Mohamed who lost it in 2019 and who came back strong in 2023. As for Arthur, he is the new kid in the group who is gaining ground in Toulouse families.
< p>So many new things for girls, too!
As with boys, girls have also changed places in 2023. Alma< /strong> reached the top even though she was not one of the darlings in previous years. On the other hand, Alba retained its second place, and Charlie made a sensational entrance by positioning itself on the third step of the podium. For their part, Emma, Ambre, Lina, Anna, Jade, Louise, Alice, Léna, Olivia, Agathe, Juliette, Eva, Julia, Nina, Charlotte, Elena and Nour complete the ranking of female first names the most given in 2023.
Louise, who had first place in 2021 and 2022, is now ninth, Juliette leaves the Top 10 to give way to Olivia, while Giulia is no longer popular among Toulouse residents.
A major return of very (very) old first names in 2024?
If the old classic first names come back, those of our (back) ) grandparents are still not predominant: Albertine, Colette or Léontine, Fernand, Marcel or even Lucien do not appear in the official rankings . Fashionable at the very beginning of the 20th century, these surnames have completely fallen into oblivion over the years, even if a few Léon, Basile and even Joséphine are heard more and more in playgrounds...
So it's official: despite the names of yesteryear still missing, the trends have (finally) changed among babies born in Toulouse: Alma for girls and Adam for boys, with some new additions and departures.
