Where I live the 'most popular baby names' are nowhere to be seen. I am interested to know what names are popular amongst babies and children in your area and (roughly) where you are from.
I have never met a baby Isla and I love the name! In this area Florence and Theodore are very common- I am from the South West of England.

Lots of little boys called Felix (awesome) and Logan (slightly less awesome) round these parts.

OMG these apostrophes are driving me crazy Grin

Surrey. Can't move for Henrys and Oscars. Toby, Leo, Theo/Teddy, Finn all seem very popular too.

There seems to be much more of a range of girl names, I can't think of any multiples actually!

Hairq · 07/08/2017 16:37

North. Lots of Ava, Eva and Evie around here. Boys are mainly Max,
Charlie and Alfie but less so than the common girls names.
