What names have we missed?

I'd like to see Castiel added to the database. It was given to 83 boys in 2011, and 122 boys in 2012, so it's obviously gaining popularity. The name is quite visible via Misha Collins' character on Supernatural.

I'm fairly certain that Marieke (and Marijke, which was the nickname of Princess Maria Christina and, in my opinion, also should be added) are Dutch diminutives of Maria. I'm Danish and I don't know a single (Danish) Marieke. I know some Marika's though.

Marieke and Mareike are commenly used girl names in Germany. I know some women as well as children with that name.

I just found another name that is considered to be a boy´s name that is also more commenly used as a girl´s name (and not in the database for girls yet): Heike, also Haike. It is a German-Frisian name that derives from Heinrike/Henricke. This name was very popular in Germany in the 1960s and 1970s. That´s why it was rarely used for boys. Famous people: German actress Heike Makatsch (Love actually), Heike Drechsler (German Athletic).

You're missing the name Lua which is a Latin, Galician and Portuguese name meaning "moon".

Lua was the Roman Goddess to whom soldiers sacrificed captured weapons. She was sometimes referred to as 'Lua Saturni'.

You don't have Ashwin. It's a lovely Hindi name meaning "swift". It is also the name of the seventh month in the Hindi calendar.
