Jude for a boy and a girl.

Kitty
Elodie/Eloise/Elise are replacing Ella/Ellie
Florence
Harriet

And all the usual Jack, Harry, Oliver, William, Thomas, Ella, Charlotte, Isobel names that are continuing to be popular.

Oh and American names/surname type names are v popular atm.

Harper, Tyler, Cole, Brandon etc

Lots of Haydens around.

I've got a little Oscar which I didn't think was that common but I seem to have met loads at clinics, swimming and baby groups lately. Also Edward seems to be popular atm. For girls Lily, Ruby and Mia seem quite popular

Oscar is very popular indeed here and has been for a few years.

Edward is apparently on the rise because of those books.

what books?!

Twilight Books.

Talking of which - Jasper.

ohhh.

Clara
Eve

Charlie
Max
Lola
Isla
Imogen
Ava
seem to be aleast 2 of each in the baby and toddler rooms at DD's nursery.

Also:

Jayden/kayden/Hayden/Brayden I've heard around town lately all blurgh imho especially Brayden. Makes me think of donkeys for some reason.

Apart from the usual I have noticed a few Agnes' and Willows this year. rather a lot in fact (I work with newborns which is why i have met so many ).

Also rather more 'rose' names that aren't Rose. Rosemary, Rosamund, Rosalind etc.

Can't think for boys, just more of the same i think. Arthur and Stanley are about to go through the roof i think, soooo many of those born lately.

I don't know why but Jody for a boy is getting really popular around here (I know 4 who've been born in the last year)

The last 3 baby girls that I know have been called Eve, Eve and Evie.

The last few boys have been Jack or Max

Eve, Evie, Oliver, George, Ruby - nearly EVERY baby boy I know of born recently is an Oliver and nearly every girl is an Evie or Eve!

Florence, Lola, Eloise, Elise and Felix all seem to be increasing in popularity.

I have an Eva, born 2008 - thought it was a lovely, slightly unusual but nonetheless classic name at the time - cannot belive the explosion of Evies and Evas since.
