So our favourite name for the boy we’re having is Asher

Hubby was doing some googling and has got all bothered because a bunch of websites all said that Asher was the #1 name so far in 2020 (they all got their info from Nameberry)...

I don’t know any Asher’s! So I don’t really believe it!!

Do you know any born this year or last?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I know of one but for the life of me I can't think whose child it is right now.

I don't know any but love the name

Nameberry do their name stats based on names that have been searched that week on their site. It's not based on official statistics of actual babies born at all. So their lists are always full of really unusual names (like Sailor) because people look up unusual names but don't bother so much with a top 100 name

I don't know of any Ashers at all. It's a great name though.

Nameberry is a US site and Asher is much more popular there than it is in the UK.

No I don't.

And I'm pretty sure the nameberry stats just refer to the number of times a name has been looked up on the site, not the number of times it has actually been used. The latest stats for it actually being used will be on the ONS site, or darkgreener.
