These are our current front runners. I'm a bit worried they're very popular these days though and would like something where there aren't going to be another 4 of them in the same class! Are these names as common as I think they are these days?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Where abouts do you live? I have an 8 year old Edith and so far have never came across another child Edith (have two other daughters and none in their classes/clubs either). I haven't heard of any Arthur's either so I don't think they're as popular as you think!

I think with classic, traditional names we have the misconception that they're popular just because they aren't far fetched/out there but there's definitely an in between they're both lovely names imo, congratulations

I know several of both through my toddler groups. Arthur seems particularly popular in my area in south Yorkshire, but it may depend where you live.

If you're in the UK you can check on the Office of National Statistics website or "Dark Greener" (although that's England and Wales only iirc).
