Err, MN Towers, you seem to have made a mistake in this week's Mumsnet News..

..by giving last year's top 5 girls names and claiming that they are this year's (though you haven't given them in the right order for last year either ).

You can get the correct list here , which shows that Olivia is actually the top name this year, followed by Grace, Jessica, Ruby and Emily.

Err, and now that I've previewed this post, why isn't the smiley working?

seren?

lol

its a lovely name, but

don't look at the welsh top 10, i think

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 21/12/2006 10:54

what I find odd is that it's not the top names which appear as duplicates in DSs classes at school etc (their years aren't shown on that list but the top names don't change that dramatically).

The Daily Mail website may well have corrected its list.

I'm so glad I didn't go with Ciara/Keira which was next favourite. I deliberately discarded it because of Keira Knightly's rising public presence.

BabyDragon is Seren. I refuse to look at a list of the top 100 names in Wales only!

well my name isn't there

that makes me feel a little better

so few parents naming their kid Bathsheba nowadays

I think you'll find that we never make mistakes and that we were simply giving you a round-up of this week's parenting news The names article came from this week's Daily Mail. We're just reporting the news as it happens, or something like that.

Happy Crimbo.

DD's name quite low down the list which I am pleased about!! DS's is quite high though which I am NOT so pleased about

Glitterygookwithchocsonthetree · 21/12/2006 10:16

Gosh, ds2's name has dropped and dropped since 2002. It's a lovely name too. My other two are in the top 10 which is very annoying, but hey ho.
