How common are these names in Surrey/London

[MrsDarcy4092]

We live in the Surrey/London border area and wondered how common the following names are:

Penelope
Emma
Wren
Felix
Albert

[NappingRabbit]

I'm in the same area and know one Felix but don't know any children by the other names. I have a two year old so haven't reached school age yet.

[Raaaaaah]

I know one Penelope, one wren and two felix.

[SissySpacekAteMyHamster]

I only know a Felix.

[ShotsFired]

I'm not far from you and I know at least one of each of those, and some I know several!

And I don't have a lot of babies/children in my acquaintance compared to many MNers so that is a v high proportion in a small sample!

[originalbiglymavis]

I know a Penelope​ (Canadian) and a Felix (English). There was a kid the sane age as DS called Albert at baby class and I only know a grown up Emma.

[NetballHoop]

I know a Felix and an Emma

[viques]

They are fairly common names, if you want them to be a bit more unique you till have to play about with the spelling. apostrophes would work too.

E'mma
W'ren
Pheelix

Etc

[grumpyfish52]

Goodness, please don't do what viques has suggested!

I know an Albert and an Emma. But i don't think any would be described as really common (although not super unusual either)

[wizzywig]

No!!! Dont add apostrophes to the names

[BasicBetty]

I know an Emma and a Felix (both school age)

[EssentialHummus]

viques

[Valeriemalorie]

I know a Penelope and an Emma.

[porterwine]

Emma is in my top 3 names. I only know of one 6 year old Emma..all the rest are adults.
Haven't come across a Wren or Felix.
I know 1 baby Penny and 2 Albert/ Bertie.

[StopShoutingAtYourBrother]

I know a few Emma's,
Please don't do apostrophes.....

[RemoteControlledChaos]

Apostrophes: oh good grief...

[grufallosfriend]

All fairly common, apart from Wren. I've never met a Wren!

[Enidblyton1]

I have never met a Wren, but I know 2 Penelopes and more than 5 boys called Felix and Albert - they seem to be rising rapidly in popularity around London. I only know 1 Emma, but a few of my friends have used it as a middle name.

[Floellabella]

I know two baby Wrens in London and two baby Penelopes x

[Badgoushk]

I live in SW London.

Penelope 0
Emma 1
Wren 0
Felix 2
Albert 2

[bridgetreilly]

Instead of Wren you could try a different bird:

Robin
Jay
Magpie
Chaffinch
Linnet
Curlew
Dove
Martin
Peregrine
Serin
Wigeon

[Mrsknackered]

In London I knew a lot of Penelope's and Felix's, one Albert.
No Wren's and only 30-40 yo Emma's (I love it though!)

[BagelDog]

Surrey here, two Penelope's two Emma's, one wren, three gelid and about five Albert/Albie.

[MrsDarcy4092]

Sounds like they are all around but not crazy popular?

We do also love Erin and Robin for a girl. But Penelope is probably Our top choice.

Felix and Albert are only two boys names we both like, with Felix the top choice.

[Oysterbabe]

I know a Wren and an Albert.

[MrsMeeseeks]

We're drowning in Felixes here in our bit of SW London. Every other white boy is called Felix, Oscar, Sam, Leo, Harry or Ethan.
