Unfamiliar with the YouTuber... I'm glad that nobody is naming their kid Pewdiepie... but the name "Ahlam" (Arabic for dream) is pretty popular over in the Middle East.

Well, not really? My name has never been higher than a brief stint in the UK top 40, but I wouldn't consider it 'nontraditional'. And these names aren't all of the possible names in those categories you have named.

I've taught at least a dozen girls with these names. #398 never occurred to me because it's quite common as is 661, both are quite common among the working class. #736 (N) is quite common for certain ethnic groups -- Kurdish, Arabic, Swahili, Zulu etc.

Years (and years) ago when I ran a video store (I said years ago, right?), I had a job application form which contained the question, "What is your favourite movie, and why?"

One young man put "Lord of the Rings because it's neat to see what it was like back then."

I regret not calling him to this day.

though, that said... IMO the weirdest of the whole bunch shows up at #32?? That is strange. Was there a character named Nova that showed up in popular media somewhere I wasn't aware of? The MCU movie probably isn't coming out until 2025 at the earliest.

I know someone who named their child Nova about 5 years ago. As far as I know, they just liked it -- no popular associations or anything.

It sounds kind of historical (Latin) and science-y (supernova) and phonetically is in line with other currently trendy names like Ava and Nora. Personally, I think its one of the least weird names on this list!

This is nitpicky but I feel like "not going" is a bad translation of "no va", as "va" is not the participle of "ir". A better translation would be "he/she does not go".
