Deaths column better for trend-spotting. Can you give us the deaths, so we can see what might make a comeback?

Hmmm. So the Movers and Shakers aren't calling their children Dez'rey or Sequoia. I wonder what that tells us?

Love Albert and Iris together.
Eliza is OK
the rest are quite dull / run of the mill, spot them everywhere names - but they are fine.

Why?

Nowt out of the ordinary that I can see.

nickytwotimes · 31/03/2009 13:24

Well, some of them are upper middle, but it's the Torygraph, innit?

ChippyMinton · 31/03/2009 13:23

I generally prefer the names in the deaths column

nickytwotimes · 31/03/2009 13:23

Pretty okay.
Standard middle class names.
