is ted/teddy really becoming much more popular?? Had it in mind for no.2..

Elf do people call your DD Evie. My Dd is Evangeline, but I am struggling to get people to call her that rather than Evie (which I like, but it is not her name)

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 16/11/2010 12:19

DD is five, and she's Evelyn, though we did consider Evie. Kinda glad we didn't, as there do seem to be lots of Evie's around recently.

The children I know born this year are called: Carmen, Jackson, Max, Emma and Joseph.

Am pregnant with DC2 and have NO idea for names at the moment! Though, may book mark this and scrap off all the "popular" ones from any short list.

Komondor · 16/11/2010 12:14

Amelia's even.

Komondor · 16/11/2010 12:11

Well, a friend called her daughter Mabel and another Gwendolyn, and a recent boys name used is Eric. But apart from the unusual old ladies and old men names, its still Amlia's etc around me.

mopsyflopsy · 16/11/2010 10:45

A lot of the names mentioned here are already mega popular... e.g. Olivia, Jack etc. It is only a question of time before they start declining in popularity again.

Isn't the question about names that are BECOMING more popular?

Ava, Evie and Eve.

When I was 15 I decided I wanted to call my daughter Ava. 10 years on, with babies on the (not too distant) horizon and it's everywhere.

The last four baby girls born to my friends in the last three months have all been called Jessica!
DS1 in at pre-school with four Harrys and three Alfies.

Dreya · 12/11/2010 21:52

I know four baby Sienna's. Two of them have Rose as a middle name, and the other two have May/Mae. And one has a brother called Jude. My hairdresser told me that a client of hers recently called her son Alfie Jude. Oliver is also very popular. I hear it all the time. And Ella. My goodness there are loads of those. I am struggling with choosing a name for my first child due in Feb. I used to love Isabelle. I like Sophia and Lucia. Anybody hearing those names more and more?

MelinaM · 31/10/2010 00:00

Amelia/Emilia, Isobel ..yes still, Josh ..ditto, and Max!

rachel1970 · 29/10/2010 18:52

I've met a few Quentins and Stanleys recently, as well as Marthas and Florence. So the 'granny chic' trend is definately continuing.

PutTheKettleOn · 29/10/2010 18:49

Every baby i meet lately seems to be George or Martha

ilovesprouts · 29/10/2010 17:34

not heard my sons or grandsons name much ,but im sure they is some around

thell · 29/10/2010 11:37

I don't know that many babies at the moment, but the last four I know born in the last 18 months are Alma, Matilda, Penelope and Niamh.

DD (4) has a 'normal' but uncommon name, which I love [hsmile]
There were a lot of Millys around at the same time - in our monkey music group for a while there was a Milly, Emily, Amelie and Amelia, all known as Milly!
I was surprised to discover quite a few Darcies aswell though.
