Chime in here with your predictions for the climbers and those that will fall.

I predict a big rise for Arthur. No 41 last year but they are everywhere!

Haha very true I don't think there will be a dramatic change to this year's line up.

A girls name I think will have risen in Florence...I seem to hear it all the time ATM!!

Boys name that I think will have risen significantly is Theodore...every other little boy I meet recently is called Teddy/Theo
