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.

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.
