Have we done this before?
Please add one girl and one boy name to the list - one that is always bound to be loved on Mumsnet.
No Gracie-Maes or Kaydens here thank you.

Ok I will begin.

I just read that Sir David Frost's sons are called Miles, Wilfred and George. Very MN.

The only name I've ever seen 100% positive MN consensus on is Hamish.

Ah, Foxy, I'm obviously living in the wrong place! And I'd have thought a home counties market town would be just the right place for some Gabriels.

My boy's name isn't on here, but lots of the names we'd have considered if he was a girl are!

KnittyFoxyMa · 13/03/2014 20:36

Suz there are 4 Gabriels at our primary school!
Love this thread tho shocked to see the highly rare name we picked for dd2 had she been a boy on here.
None of my dc names are here, nor mine or DP. exh's is,which amuses me.
I do know lots of kids irl with many of these names, including an Elodie.

Charlotte and Imogen are always suggested. I'm particularly aware of them as Imogen was on my list and I don't like the name Charlotte. I don't know any Imogen's but there are quite a few Charlottes in the playgroup we attend.

Both names, I think, have evolved from being used sparingly by a select few to now being used by everyone from all walks of life. Freakonomics explains it much better.

I didn't mean up themselves names. I just meant ones that people always suggest, Seren is definitely a mumsnet name! And Oliver!

Meredith is my 'if I have a girl' name. I live in fear of it becoming a Ruby or Olivia. If everyone could keep it a MN Forum Only name I'd really appreciate it...Grin

Elodie and Ottilie are both lovely, don't get me wrong!

I imagine I may well name my children names that result in "well that's not a well known name around here" type bales. Not on purpose, I just seem to like those kinds of names.

soontobeslendergirl · 12/03/2014 23:12

Seren and Meredith aren't "MN" names, they're just Welsh names

All names come from somewhere Confused

For about a year, every girls name thread included someone saying Seren.

I didn't think the idea was to make fun of some of the "posher" or middle class or up themselves names, I thought it was about names that people on here seem to love?

gilliangoof · 12/03/2014 23:10

I know a little Elodie.

I like a fair few of the names listed. Rocking at the idea that Oliver is a "Mn name" aka middle and up themselves name though. Ditto Harry and indeed a fair few others.

Ottilie and Elodie are the most often mentioned yet never seen in real life names I have come across on Mn
