Do you think there will be a big surge in Cheryls now?

[grapeandlemon]

I mean she is THE most popular person on the planet at the moment, but has a rather -I think- awful name...or has her beauty sort of jazzed it up?

[ShoshanaBlue]

To answer your question.

No.

[LynetteScavo]

No, but if she were to have a baby, millions of people would give their baby the same name.

[ShoshanaBlue]

That is a scary thought.

[Haliborange]

I reeeeaaallly doubt it.
Cheryl was popular when I was a lass and up until about the mid-80s. Too new to hit granny chic.

[grapeandlemon]

isn't it funny she is so beautiful she pulls it off.

I think this is true of most names. If you are beautiful the name will be also....

I just googled to see if Anne Hathaway was actually her real name - it seems to be.

Maybe our grandchildren will be called Cheryl (what a thought) and we can all perfect the face that our parents and in-laws give us.

I think it's just too recent and not a 'classic' enough name. But if ever a name didn't suit someone, it has to be Cheryl, doesn't it?

[nooka]

Who is this Cheryl of which you speak? Sounds very 70's to me, I'd have thought at least another generation was required before names of that type were popular again.

[gillybean2]

I assume she means Cheryl Cole

[thumbwitch]

Anne is a timeless classic name though, unlike Cheryl. Shakespeare's lady was called Anne Hathaway as well.

OP - doubt it. But it's better than Beryl.

[Letz]

No!! The name is hideous!

[tummytickler]

no, but Beryl is on my list for a dd

[grapeandlemon]

Beryl is definately back

[mathanxiety]

Beryl has a lot going for it.

[Haliborange]

What? Beryl the Peril?

Hormones make women do crazy things...

[valiumSingleton]

I don't think so. I think there was a surge of Cheryls and Crystals post bucks-fizz/Dynasty. It's not ready to come back yet.

I like Beryl. I also like Meryl, and Myrtle.

[beccagrace2]

no no no to beryl, its my mil's name.....cringe!!

[mathanxiety]

Hormones do not make mums to be do crazy things -- it says so here

[muminthemiddle]

No-I doubt it. It a very early 1970s late 1960s name to me although glamourised initially by Cheryl Ladd of Charlie's Angels fame.

[Tuschinski]

Agree with MrsvWoolf, the people who copy celeb names would tend to go for a celeb baby and agree Cheryl is very unfashionable and can't see that changing any time soon.
I'm sure there will be a run on whatever Danni Minogue calls her baby and Stacy in Eastenders called hers Lily but then that's already popular.
