The one that shocks me is Claire.

I would have thought Claire isn't due a revival for at least another 30 years after being so popular during the 70's and 80's!

It is. Actually Martin, like Salinger, is great with names.

Lol, at patients. It does feel like that sometimes.

Isn't Khaleesi from Game of Thrones?

It just sounds like those are the names people are looking up from downton (Cora and violet) and 'slebs (harper and Penelope).

I don't think that many patents are actually using these names.

Although Isla is in the top 10 in Scotland.

So people might secretly want to call their baby Khaleesi? [shocked]

It is a nice sounding word though.

Some great names on there!

It's just based on the number of views each name got on the website.
