Ages of oldest people you know with a current top 10 name

188 replies

What are the ages of the oldest people you know with a current (ONS 2017 England & Wales) top ten name?

I have a top ten name and don't know of anyone else older than me with it (although fully aware there are plenty around) so find this sort of information interesting. Particularly interested in the girls name list as I'm under the impression these change a little more than the boys list.

Top 10 girls names 2017:
Olivia
Amelia
Isla
Ava
Emily
Isabella
Mia
Poppy
Ella
Lily

Charlie about 40, but he was probably christened Charles. Not sure I know any official Charlies
Muhammad middle-aged.

AtiaoftheJulii · 17/11/2018 19:23

Actually I think Ella is more like 23, but not a huge difference.

Olivia 50, but also several early 20s
Amelia 80+, then a gap to 22
Isla - don't know any
Ava - don't know any
Emily - all ages, oldest is 80+

I know an Emily early 50s and an Amelia maybe late 30s/early 40s. Lily 28.
The rest either only kids or dead.
And a late relative was Jack, born 1920.
Charlie 60 ish.
Know a lot of Muhammads including some in their 70s or those I've not seen for a while 80s.
Again the rest either kids or dead (long dead).
