Forget what the statistics tell you, what are the most popular names your know personally.

For me all baby and preschooler boys I know seem to be Harry, Freddie or Leo. There are also a few Henry’s.

Girls I’m surprise I still know a few Isabelle/Izzy’s also surprisingly a couple of Margots! And loads of Ellie’s but all short for different things. Apart from that the girls are more mixed though.
