Please ladies with those of young children what are the most popular names you are hearing?

Just want to see if some of our top runners are popular :)

Thanks guys!

Very pleased Harriet and Margot have only mentioned once and Elliott not at all.

Kind of shocked at how many Ivys (I thought that was rather uniques), Finns and Theos have been mentioned. Also glad Harry has only been mentioned once (very surprised at that)

@Awwlookatmybabyspider you would think wouldn't you

DD's name is the only name I've heard repeated, and it's very unusual. (Less than 20 in the country in 2017.) Not telling you what it is because I don't want any more repeats.
