Beanie - totally gutted about Isla as well! My husband is Scottish and we agreed we would pick a Scottish name and Isla is our favourite but we thought it was sufficiently unusual. Now it is a celebrity name! Back to square one.

How about Morwenna? Not Scottish but Cornish and I only know of one.

Ruby and Lola. Thousands of them.

Matilda.

I'm gutted to see Isla is so popular, we thought we'd picked a fairly under used name. Not sure we'll change our minds though coz we love it!

bigbluebump · 23/08/2010 12:28

Lots of names on here have already hugely popular and are already in the top 10 or so, like Oliver, Finn, Evie, Charlie etc.

travellingrose · 23/08/2010 11:49

Oliver, George, Finn, Oscar,
Imogen, Evie, Eva, Lola

yellowflowers · 22/08/2010 21:10

Just remembered Dylan also seems really popular

QueeferSutherland · 22/08/2010 17:34

Jago.

When I had my Jago 5 months ago all the midwives gave me this face--->Hmm and said they'd never heard of it.

When I popped into the unit a month later I was told 5 more had been born!

nymphadora · 21/08/2010 22:27

Bollocks all our names for dc3 are on here. Better get thinking again! One we knew wascommonish amongst older boys but don't know any babiestocompare names

DetectivePotato · 21/08/2010 21:29

My nan suggested Hugo to me this evening actually.

catinboots · 21/08/2010 19:13

We loved George/Harry/Oliver/Alfie/Archie but decided they were too popular around here. I wanted Rufus but DH vetoed it. We settled on Hugo - and have yet to meet another.

nearlymumofone · 21/08/2010 16:39

Harry. I know three born this summer.

ilovesprouts · 21/08/2010 15:19

I can't see Joshua aging like someone said. Names like Riley, Rhys and Tyler will.

Cooper? Really!!

I know loads of Isabellas, I only know 1 Isla, didn't realise that was so popular. Common where I am, Sam/Samuel, Finlay, Joshua, Ellie, Lily. Max.

jellybeans · 20/08/2010 16:29

Cooper
Archie
Riley
Edward
Zachary
Isaac

Connie
Beatrice

rusmum · 20/08/2010 08:56

lucas, finlay aflie archie

evie ruby (BOO HOO) and florence

when i had my ruby 6 years ago thought it was just different enough- sadly NOT!

KittyBigglesworth · 19/08/2010 22:28

Ruby seems to be everywhere and I predict that Tatiana will rise as a result of Carly Cole's daughter having that name.
George, Archie, Charlie, Jane, Theo, Chloe, Zoe and the '-ee ending with Mae as a middle name is boring in the extreme.

flopsy1974 · 19/08/2010 16:05

Bloody Lily - May/Mae/Mai. Sick of hearing it.

McCrappy · 19/08/2010 14:42

I know one Pablo.

greythorne · 19/08/2010 12:40

Tom / Thomas is v popular here
As are Max, Olivia, Freddie, Arthur, Freya and Ruby. Oh, and Sebastian. And Lily.

I predict a huge revival for Felix, it has already started here.

Does anyone know any Pablos?

tattycoram · 19/08/2010 12:25

YY Clara, we avoided Jack and I haven't met any in 3 1/2 years, not one

maniacbug · 19/08/2010 09:59

MrsvWoolf Agatha? Really? Rats. I thought DD was the only one in the whole wide world...

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 18/08/2010 17:38

Hi it's Lulu (change of name) - no, I know it's fine on adults and people in their 30s - just find it a bit difficult to see it on an older woman - and I mean 60s/70s, but maybe it's because I'm in my 30s and I know people in their 30s called Claire - maybe when I'm a pensioner - it'll seem OK.

I don't think that made any sense at all did it? It just doesn't seem like an old lady's name to me.
