Mumsnet's most loved baby names

I feel like there are a bunch of names that Mumsnet posters unanimously adore. I have never seen Josephine or Rosa get a negative comment, for example. As for boy names, I think Edward seems really well-loved. What do you think?

Maeve
used to have a v good friend Maeve and she never got any compliments about her name and didn’t like it at all, plus people can’t spell it.

Seren. I actually laughed when I heard a family friend had named their baby Seren recently as I thought it actually only existed on MN.

Isla, Orla, Ava, Eva, Ella

All so samey

Mumsnet doesn’t rate those names at all, though.

Sophia, Grace, Rose,

As a result there will be masses of these names in schools

Those names aren’t liked on Mumsnet, though.

Clementine, i think it's too long, sounds pretentious and reminds me of the orange. Mumsnet seems to bloody love it 😂
