Round my way Ava, Ada, Isla, Ivy, Evie, Evi, Elsie have segued into Margot, Marnie, Maisie, Martha, Mimi and Mabel. Literally - every girl baby I know locally seems to have a name drawn from a very short list!

@daisyducky Alba was on my list, had no idea it was popular! I've never known one. I dismissed it because of the Alex Salmond thing Grin

Esme, Mia, Myla, Evie, Eva (Esme seems to be especially popular where we live)

Classica · 13/06/2021 17:59

Islas and Margots. Lots of them.

Really cannot bear the name Isla though.

I've met 1 baby girl in a year and her name was Verity. In online forums I'm noticing these mentioned a lot:

Lucy, Luna, Lara, Louisa, Hazel, Maeve, Mabel, Tess, Tessa, Penelope, Margot, Nancy, Naomi, Seren, Sylvie, Sylvia, Clara, Eloise, Elodie, Eleanor, Rosalind, Ottilie, Ophelia etc.

Then there's all of your regulars: Isla, Lily, Sophia, Charlotte, Isometric, Amelia, Olivia, Ava etc.
