I swear every child under 5 I've met in the past year have been called Jack or Isla. Failing that, Josh or Isabelle.

Lovely names but so bored of them. Anyone else bored of any other names?

I haven't got bored of any yet (though tbf most of these names aren't my taste anyway) but our town has a very, very narrow range of names - all the girls seem to be in the Amelia/Florence/Jemima/Martha range, and all the boys are Harry/Elliot/Josh/George. I haven't heard a name in this town for ages that has made me think "ooh, that's unusual" or "I haven't heard that in a while".

WowserBowser · 28/09/2014 18:16

most ending -ie

Ava, Hayden/Jayden etc.

Mainly I still get surprised by the number of Chloe, Amy, Emma, Sarahs! I know SO many Chloes!!!

Mrsgrumble · 28/09/2014 18:07

Ava, so many

Luke.. Too many

PrincessOfChina · 28/09/2014 18:06

It's the boys ones that get me. William, Harry, Joseph, Samuel, Charlie. Sigh. And Jack. And Thomas. There must be at least one of eacj of those in every class in the country.

Kantha · 28/09/2014 18:04

Lily
As pp says: Evie, Eve, Ava etc etc

Although there are very many Harry's and William's round here I am not bored of them in the way that I am of cutsey twee girls names.

Sundaedelight · 28/09/2014 17:22

Isla/ Isabelle(a)/ Evie/ Sophie/ Poppy/ Lola/ Megan/ Ella
Jack/ Thomas/ James/ Sam/ Harry/

Don't sound fresh to me, just run of the mill, nice names. Personally I prefer a little more individuality. It's a shame when children become Sam A or Sam B etc at school.

ElephantsNeverForgive · 28/09/2014 15:41

Ellie/Evie etc. we have loads.

AmeliaPeabody · 28/09/2014 15:39

I love Jack and Isabelle/Isobel/Isabel etc still. They still sound fresh to me no matter how often I hear them.

I do hear Olivia/Livvy/Liv, and other variations, an awful lot, but wouldn't say I was bored exactly.
