These lists are full. The source prints at most 5,000 names for one province and sex, and Alicante/Alacant reached that limit exactly. So the list stops at a name held by 9 people rather than at the 5 the source gives as its threshold, and the missing percentage above is made up of names that exist and were not printed. Either way the cut lands inside a tie that the source breaks alphabetically, so the last few names here are an accident of the alphabet rather than a fact about Alicante/Alacant.

Source: INE, Censo anual de poblacion - frecuencia de nombres por provincia. Residents of Spain counted by the forename they hold, from the annual population census, not by year of birth. This is a count of people alive and living in the province on the census date, whenever they were born, and cannot be compared with the birth figures elsewhere on the site. A name held by fewer than five people in a province is withheld, and the source prints at most 5,000 names per province and sex.
