Just wondered what the most popular names over the last couple of years are

There are 3 x Megans at dd2's preschool.

Also, generally lots of girls with Ellie/Millie type names.

ninedragons · 14/07/2009 13:32

All the boys are Jack, Max or Rory.

Little bit more variation with the girls: Caroline, Sadie x 2, Annabel, Beth, Lily, Chloe, Grace etc. No Sophies, Ellas or Isobels - think they are on their way out in our area.

Ellie, Ella, Evie, Millie, Tilly, Charlotte, Chloe, Isobel, Sophie/ Sophia.

When dd was at toddler group, there were about five Ellies and Ellas.

BikeRunSki · 13/07/2009 16:50

Oliver and Niamh.

Milly and Eddie too.

Went to one toddler group in the local hall where seven out of eight little girls were called Freya. There were two Freya May/Maes, and two Freya Junes, moreover.

The other big girl's name around here is Beatrice, weirdly enough - I know four under the age of two.

For little boys, it's the usual suspects - three Williams, two Charlies, two Thomases, three Olivers, two Freddies.

JRocks · 09/07/2009 22:59

Lewis, Jack, Chloe, Milly, Mia
