What baby boy names are you hearing of lots now in your circles/on TV etc rather than what's "officially" in the top ten?

I am in the South East although the various Edwards are not all local. It's a lovely name and I doubt it will ever be either uber-trendy or out of fashion. I think most people I know would be going for a classic but not overused name so it fits the bill!

mewkins · 01/03/2015 19:58

Ethans and Arthurs

Blondie87 · 01/03/2015 19:34

Oh no akorda- do you have a back up??

akorda · 01/03/2015 19:25

Blondie87 As said on another thread, there are really not many Edwards here in the South East. And anyway, if there turn out to be lots, go for a less common shortening e.g. I've met a few Teddies but no Neds or Eds.

Plus Edward is a lovely classic name - there will always be some but it is unlikely to be top 10.

I say all this because it was our no.1 name but sadly a close cousin chose it just a few weeks' before us!

Blondie87 · 01/03/2015 17:41

MsJupiter whereabouts in the country are you based? I'm just interested as after lots of deliberation we have finally decided on Edward for our first baby due in May. Wanted a classic, relatively popular but not ridiculously so name! It's strange that Arthur and Reuben are suddenly so popular, both were on our shortlist and I have never met a Reuben and only one Arthur!

caughtinthemoment · 01/03/2015 16:10

Ethan
Jacob
Archie
Alfie
Theo

MamaLazarou · 01/03/2015 14:57

Ethan is the most popular baby boys' name in these parts. Closely followed by Oscar and Leo.

Also popular: Harry, Max, Sam, Jacob, Georg and Alfie.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 01/03/2015 13:43

Ah yes Reuben and Archie x 100

MsJupiter · 01/03/2015 08:18

Almost every baby boy I've known in the last year or so has been Edward.

bouncingbelle · 01/03/2015 04:19

Every second baby boy seems be called Archie at the moment. The others are either Rueben or Kaleb (yes, I know 3 baby boys all spelled with a k, not a c!).

But at toddlers group they are all Fin/Finlay or Noah.
