What names do you think are becoming more popular? Which are you seeing more and more of?

Can't move for little Edwards round here. Also Eve/Eva/Ava type names still really popular, as well as Sophie/Sophia/Sofia.

And the old lady names have moved to a whole new level - Dorothy and Agnes are baby names I've heard recently.

Lily, Ruby, James, Oliver, Sophie, Finn (millions of these),

I think the cutesy -ie type names (Alfie, Archie, Ellie, Evie, Tilly etc) are starting to fall out of favour as people prefer more solid names.

But yes, to see what names are popular now (i.e. in 2010) have a look at the list of baby names - it lists how often every name (I think those used more than 2 times) was used in a year.

The most popular ones in my circles would be James, Finn and Sophia, I know loads of these ranging from newborn to about 5.

These statistics have tables that show regional variations for popular names which I think are quite good for determining how many you're likely to find near you.

Depends where you live. In Scotland it seems to be quite traditional or regional. Lot's of Sophies, Lewis, pheobe, fraiser, oliver, lily.
Also lot's of made up names which are always good for a laugh!
