As the ONS release their baby name lists tomorrow (UK) I would be interested to hear what names you think will have moved significantly/made it into the top 20! My predictions:
Florence and Teddy as biggest climbers.

Am I missing something? When I click on that link it says not published yet! Am I being thick? 🤔🙊

Thanks Peached, I searched and missed that!

Felicity and Luna moved into top 100. No surprise about Luna, I've heard it a lot more recently.

WhatKatyDidnt · 20/09/2017 09:48

I'm surprised Teddy/Edward haven't climbed more.

I've still never met an Olivia despite knowing scores of children!

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/09/2017 09:48

My daughter is one of 10 born with her name last year :)

Sad that Florence is so high rules it out for another daughter

I feel a bit too old for this name guessing lark, but will have a try all the same.

Girls first:
Agree with Florence, a rise and/or move into top 20.
Aria, Ivy, Elsie, Penelope, Nancy, Arabella, Clara, Darcie/Darcy/Darcy all risers within top 100.
Betsy, Betty type names, outside top 100 will rise. Very fashionable at the moment.

LesDennishair · 20/09/2017 09:19

Not yet, squares. Should be this month, but they have been known to be delayed.

squaresandsquares · 20/09/2017 09:07

Are they out?

SonicBoomBoom · 19/09/2017 21:08

Oscar, oliver, logan and lucas/luca all near the top I think.

squaresandsquares · 19/09/2017 21:06

Sounds silly but hope my two girls names aren't there

motheroreily · 19/09/2017 21:02

I think albie might be there

TheNaze73 · 19/09/2017 20:58

Here's hoping Derek is in there

squaresandsquares · 19/09/2017 20:57

Florence, Edith, Matilda, Beatrice

invisiblecats · 19/09/2017 20:46

Elodie, Amelie, Grace, Charlotte, Lily, Cerys, Matilda, Tabitha, Olivia

Theo, George, Arlo, Jeremy, ummm... not so good on boys names!

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 19/09/2017 20:16

I think Nancy will have risen quite a bit.

Mrsknackered · 19/09/2017 20:13

I think Iris, Evie, Edith and Erin will have gone up.

Also Rowan possibly make an appearance higher up? I think Logan and Oscar will have risen again.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/09/2017 20:08

April. Will have definitely risen.

euanthesheepiloveyou · 19/09/2017 19:49

Oh, Arlo & Milo too.

euanthesheepiloveyou · 19/09/2017 19:49

Definitely Theo, Teddy, Noah, George will all have gone up. Oliver will still be up there. Ezra will have gone up. Florences are everywhere so it'll have risen. And Amelie/Amelia, Isla & Imogen.

17caterpillars1mouse · 19/09/2017 19:22

I think arlo may be too 20 now

Also think Isla will have climbed a bit more

Hoping Florence is becoming less popular (doubtful)

Backhometothenorth · 19/09/2017 19:14

Eliza, Clara and George must be on the rise

scrivette · 19/09/2017 19:10

Ohh I am looking forward to finding out.

I think that George will be higher, going by my friends who have recently had children it should be number one.

Bear will have gone up too.

Sophronia · 19/09/2017 18:58

I think all of those will have risen.

Sophronia · 19/09/2017 18:57

Teddy, Theo/Theodore, Toby, Reuben, Jasper, Casper, Clara, Violet, Ivy, Florence, Edie/Edith, Thea, Beatrice
