I think Alfie's already been and gone, and I suspect Gabriel has peaked. I'm no too sure for a boy. For girls, I agree about Pippa, and would add Imogen.

do you think Imogen will rise lots?

It's always been around - rises a few places in the popularity lists, drops a couple etc.

Pippa probably will become more popular.

hmmm, boys a bit trickier. not sure.

Old boys names like Arthur, Quentin, Wilfred will rise in popularity imo, as will girls names like Agatha, Elsie and Florence.


Why Pippa Hmm...due to the Middletons?

Imogen is already very popular. More popular than Lola!

I think 'trendy' or 'on trend' is slightly different to popular or placement in the charts, correct me if I'm wrong. Yes Imogen is around 30 or so in the charts.

I long for the downfall of Eve, Evie, Ellie, Lily etc...enough alreadyGrin

Agree with Delilah, Esme, Florence and Pippa for girlies. Albert and Arthur for the boys.

I'm adding:

Beatrice, Clementine, Kate, Sophia.

Alexander, Flynn, Louis, Rafe.

Agatha?!?!? Seriously? One of the ugliest names in the world imo. Tied with Gertrude, Doris and Ethel.

Think names from the likes of Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton novels will become HUGE.
