This Thursday, September 7, L’Officiel des prenomen reveals for its 21st edition, what will be the most attributed mixed first name during the year 2024. And it’s not Camille!
This Thursday, September 7, The First Names Official publish his 21st edition. The opportunity to take stock of the most popular first names in France. In 2023, the first name Gabriel was the most attributed for boys, and for little girls: Jade. Regarding the choice of first names, two opposing ideologies: naming your child with a popular nickname or, on the contrary, wanting to be original and ensure that there will not be two in the same class. There are also parents who prefer invent first names from scratch.
At any rate, The First Names Official revealed the names that will be the most popular for the year 2024. And on the podium, we find Alba. This first name has been greatly popularized thanks to the Spanish series The Ladies of the Telephone. It signifies “dawn” in Spanish but also in Italian. Its sound in “has” appeals to future parents. Just like the first names Alma, or Inaya which are entering the top 20.

This mixed first name will certainly be the most attributed in 2024
The 5 favorite female first names of the French are therefore Alba, Louise, Jade, Ambre and Emma. And for boys, the trend has not changed. It is still Gabriel in first position, followed by Léo, Raphaël, Noah and Maël. But what about mixed first names? After being shunned for a while, mixed first names know “a visible and amplified upsurge”, explains Stéphanie Rapoport, co-author of the book with Claire Tabarly Perrin. But above all, some first names have changed gender to become feminized. This is the case of the first name Camille but also of Charlie.
The first name Charlie lost almost 50% in popularity after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January 2015. But now, “Charlie is seeing a fairly strong rebound and continues to move up into the women’s national top 20,” says Stephanie Rapoport. It is therefore estimated to occupy 16th place of the classification of female first names, becoming the most attributed mixed first name in 2024.
