In the list of the boy names, Lukas is followed in an evidant distance by Florian , who shows Michael the third position. Florian is popular since years, because he never left the first 15th, while Michael was the leading name since 1984, when he was discharged by Lukas. A constant popularity owns also Daniel (always within the Top Ten),and Alexander (continually within the Top-15th and for the forth time on the fifth position)

The next sites are occupied by newcommer: Fabian, 1999 for the first time in the Top Ten, achieved this time the 6th rank; Marcel and Tobias, both on the 7th position,entered the Top Ten in 2001 for the first time (in 2000 on the 15th/13th site). David and Philipp descent from the 7th/ 6th position to rank 9th / 10th.
