Jayden - had 8 clients so far this year with that name
Ellie
Eva
Imogen
George
Girl names ending in Lee, Lea, Leigh

Ava
Anna/Anne
Emma/Emilie

Nannydo · 24/01/2013 20:56

There seem to be quite a few John Pauls around this area.

NellyBluth · 24/01/2013 20:32

Amelia/Amelie, Isabella/Bella, Poppy, Freya for girls.

George and Freddie for boys.

There is a lot of similarity of names around here, and similar styles - so most of the girls have 'pretty' names and the boys have traditional names.
