I know of a Tobias who ended up working as an analyst-therapist before switching to a successful acting career.

A quick search in Norway's bureau of statistics shows that Anders had a big bump between about 1975 and 2000, peaking about 1985, when about 1.5% of boys were named Anders. I believe it was a top ten name that entire period. I don't have stats for Denmark where Hejlsberg is from, but I don't think the name is any rarer there.

There are a lot of developers in that generation.

Tobias is a less popular name overall, but had a much sharper spike around 2000. 1.5% of Norwegian boys born in 2003, the peak year, were named Tobias.

Those guys should be the just entering the workforce about now.

The Spotify office had an Anders of the week.
