Just wondering what the posh Londoners & jet setters are calling their new babies as these are always the names that trickle into the main stream in a few months. A friend of mine is a midwife in a private London hospital & she said the following are really gaining popularity

Boy

  • Arlo
-Otto -Casper

Girls
-Fleur
-Ottolie(never heard this before!!!)
-Florence

She said in the upper class William, Edward still used commonly for boys as middle names. Charlotte, Isabella, Poppy for girls

Can you add anymore up & coming names?I'm sure there are plenty of threads like this I'm just too lazy to look!!!) Find it fascinating & I love the way high society types get away with names the majority of us find somewhat bizarre!!!

I've always had a particular hankering for Sèvres-Babylone. So evocative ... :o

Only if your surname is Treaty or Bank or Region. Otherwise they're quite lovely.

my sister called her ds Oliver as she didn't know any - didn't listen to me with three boys at school - 24 hours later the Times top ten list came out with Oliver at the top - she was furious! I love Florence, but it is in the Hatches, Matches and Dispatches EVERY day! I have three boys and if by some amazing streak of luck we are having a girl (chances slim!) as number 4, then I don't want to get it wrong - SO HARD!!

Oh gawd, another reason why I hope I am never condemned to an old folks home. Other people's small children irritating the fuck out of me singing to me.

When all the kids at DD's nursery troop next door to amuse/ sing to the local old folk's home, what is hilarious is that they all have the same names eg Ethel, Arthur, Molly, Alfie meet Ethel, Arthur, Molly, Alfie.
Catches me every time.
