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?

Oh and I think there are going to be a fair few Roman's around at school in a few years time. I know of 3 baby Roman's!

RL20 · 24/02/2015 09:16

Bree I agree - very difficult to choose boys names. I'm currently 32 weeks and am not really any closer to choosing a name than I was a few months back! I love Freddie but my partner really doesn't. It's not that much of a popular name round here but understand it is in other places.

I know of a lot of Alfie's and Archie's

gaahhnonicknamesleft · 23/02/2015 23:16

By the way ds1's name was included by a pp but he is 5 and we've never met a single other

gaahhnonicknamesleft · 23/02/2015 23:14

Charlie, Oliver, Luke, jack, toby, Lucas, zac, Benjamin, Edward, Adam , Finley

Nightstar · 23/02/2015 20:47

All the biblical names are having a massive revival here in the South West.
Reuben and Noah topping the lists locally.

Also in playgroup there are a ton of Harry, George and Freddy's

ButterflyOfFreedom · 23/02/2015 20:07

Jacob, Harry & George

BreeVDKamp · 23/02/2015 17:40

Wow loads of these names are on our list (our top name hasn't been mentioned though :)). I feel like there are fewer boys names! Don't think there are but maybe there are fewer popular boys names, so if they're relatively popular then they are everywhere?? Boys names are hard.
