Oops sorry didn't realise this was an old thread. Just popped in my feed. And cause I met the 45th Florence of the year today (although i do like the name)

Pigtailsandall · 25/05/2025 23:04

Florence. So many Florences.

But I have also recently met a child called Larry and another called Andy. Couldn't believe it.

Where are you based @Firebird83? First time I've seen my children's names on a popular mumsnet list ... Or any Mumsnet list come to think of it!! But agree they seem to be very popular around where I am. Annoyingly as they weren't when I was pregnant 😅

I’ve come across lots of Franks/ Frankies recently, for mostly boys but a couple of girls too. I think that name is trending. And Ezra. I also hear lots of Harry, James, Arlo, Finn, Luca. For girls more variation, but multiple Lily, Mia/Maya, Evie, Ava, Isla and there are suddenly lots of Ottilies

Fridgetapas · 27/08/2024 12:20

Boys - Albie, Arlo, Luca, Teddy
Girls - All the short names like Ella, Isla, Ava, Ada, Eva, Evie, Ellie that all blend into one. Honestly I’m a PPA teacher of several year groups it’s so hard to learn all the girls names as they are so similar!

RoseUnder · 27/08/2024 11:54

A lot of the above. But I’ve also recently heard babies being named Lisa, Susan (Suzy), Jennifer (Jenny), Robert, Patrick and Daniel.

People are moving on from the 1930s names and are starting to look to the 60s and 70s for inspiration!

rosemarycait96 · 27/08/2024 11:52

The usual with girls - Ava/Eva/Evie etc, Amelia, Isla/Ailla, Eleanor (Ellie)
With boys - Oliver, Oscar, Arlo, Fred/Freddie... and oddly a lot of Italian inspired names. I've met more than one Enzo, a Romeo, Giuseppe, Rocco.

Maverick66 · 27/08/2024 11:48
