A few years ago names like Jemima, Ottilie, Clementine, Arabella, Rupert, Quentin, Sebastian and Hugo would have been described as 'posh' and unusable. Now these names seem more 'common' and I certainly know some very un-posh people with these names . I remember reading a chapter in Freakomonics about how names move 'down the ranks'.
What other names would you have discounted a few years ago that you'd now consider?
