What girls' names are you hearing most now?

86 replies

Interested in the "boy" version of this below, so thought I'd see what the unofficial "on-trend" names are for girls at the moment?

So, to repeat the question the previous OP wrote: What baby girl names are you hearing of lots now in your circles/on TV etc rather than what's "officially" in the top ten?

I'm struck by how few Olivias and Amelias I have met even though they are supposedly the top 2

But I have met loads of: Evie; Ellie/Ella; Poppy; Sophia (LOADS of these!) and, rather unexpectedly, quite a few named Elise recently!

Not so much one name, but lots of old lady names together.
Last weekend I was in room with Nora, Winny, Audrey, Ivy and Mabel! All aged under-1. It sounded a bit silly to my ears...

haleandhearty · 08/03/2015 13:41

Ivy, Evie, Amelie. Agree with another OP that there are quite a few Connies around! Oh yes, and Poppy! Everywhere....

StoneFoxMama · 07/03/2015 12:06

I'm surprised not to see more people mentioning Esme/Esmee. It's popularity is spreading like wildfire here, Imogen too. But they are the newer contenders on top of all of the above usuals, Sophie, Evie, Belle/a, Mia, Olivia, Amelia, Isabelle,Isla etc etc.

Suddenly Ivy is everywhere!

Also Evelyn, Sophia, Ella/ie, Poppy and Anna. Never met a Martha!

Annabel (the new Isabelle? )
Sophie
Jessica
Eliza
Matilda

We had Elise and Elisa on our list for DD born last year but popularity of Eliza and it likely being mistaken for that put us off

Yes Iris! I know of three toddlers called Iris in my area

Phoebe - love it and seems to have made a comeback around here too!

Iris is on the rise

Interrobang · 01/03/2015 20:25

Lol at 47 million Evas. But yes, it is something like that.
I know loads, - and loads with the vowel-v-vowel thing - Eve, Eva, Ava, Ivy, - some short for something, e.g. Evelyn, Evangeline, but all known as Evie.

rallytog1 · 01/03/2015 20:14

I know about 47 million Evas. Seriously, it's getting silly how many of them there are around here.

Assuming we all stay living in the same area my 22mo dd will also be in a class with multiple Jessicas, Isabelles, Lilys and Islas.

CarlaVeloso · 01/03/2015 19:08

I think generally there's a bit more variety with girls' names. Here it's George and Oscar everywhere for boys. But I find I hear lots of different girls' names.

That said, in terms of multiples, I do know two baby Beatrices born in the last six months. And two Arabellas.
