Keegan for a girl is bloody awful. It's pretty ropey for a boy as well, but for a girl it's off the scale awful.

Kim82 · 21/08/2014 08:27

A few names I've heard recently are:

Trevor
Raffy
Mika
Leonie
Violet
Kyedon
Austin

There are also the million Ellie's, Jack's, Josh's and Olivia's etc so the above names have stuck in my mind.

Leo, Leon and Stella are all quite run of the mill here.

I was in Toys 'R' Us yesterday.
Names I heard were
Riley,

Sydenham this one was about 5. Her mum was calling her the full name casually in conversation. I think I would have shortened.

Those are the names I overhear the most either from my DDs talking about school or preschool, or from the park. (NE Arizona). Other common names are Madison, Ella, Olivia and Ana. I don't know many little boys.
