I agree with WhentheSperm that flower names are really popular up here, every other girl seems to be called Lily or Poppy etc...

Other popular girl's names I've noticed are:

Olivia
Grace
Amber
Mae/May and Lee/Leigh is often used as in Olivia-Mae or Gracie-Leigh.

I'm in the north east and flower names seem to be really popular for girls at the moment. Lots of little Poppy's, Daisy's and Lily's running around.

Finley seems to be quite popular for boys and I know quite a few Oliver's that have been born recently.

Girls I could say much stands out, maybe a far few Evie but not over used
