I'd be interested to hear your predictions for popular baby names of 2010.

Seth, my favourite boys' name is going to be up there I think. I hear it more and more.

Classic names like Anna, Jean, Sarah, Rachel I think. Not popular, not old lady, not modern. They'll be the new Ella/Ellie/Evie in a few years.

Kitty I hear a lot. And Florence.

Isaac definitely on the up.

Miley....yuk!

2009 top 100 (sorry, it's DM link)

For anyone debating whether to give their DC popular names: DS's name is rocketing up the charts. I find this annoying it - it's our name grrr. However DS is delighted as he doesn't like to stand out from the crowd.

Felix AND Elijah!

I know three people who have named their daughters Heidi in the past year

Oh no, I hope Ada doesn't get hugely popular. I have my heart set on it but I won't be pregnant for a while yet!

BridgetGump · 30/12/2009 12:30

I'm surprised Ethan isn't in the top ten yet.

Also Elijah Felix for boys will rise to top 100.

Will be interested to see what celeb baby names like Kai do, Bounty suggest it's in 30's now.

For boys;

Arthur
Eddie (along the lines of Alfie, Charlie, Freddie, is overdue a revival)
all the -aydens/aidens
Biblical names like Noah, Jacob, Isaac (or Issac) will continue to be popular.
Variations of Alexander, Alex, Zander, Xander are becoming more popular too.

For girls;
Evie/Eva/Ava's
Amelie/Amelia
Flowery old ladies names will still be used, I'm surprised Daisy has made such a climb but think it's popularity will be short lived. Lily, Poppy, Rosie etc will remain popular for a few years.

I think classic names like Sarah might start to rise as 'unusual' and 'of the time' names are seen as common.

If you add up all the different spellings and nn of isobel, it would normally be number one however they seem to be in decline now.

violethill · 30/12/2009 12:02

Judging by people I know who have had babies in the last few months, it'll still be Alfie/Archie/Tilly/Ella/Ruby/Maisie. Oh and Jack of course!!
